Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, on the Salzach river north of the medieval city walls, was built about 1606 for Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau. The article names no original architect. Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt made rebuild plans for 1721 to 1727, and Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach made garden plans.
The article calls the 1721 to 1727 rebuild Baroque and the current appearance, from about 1818, Neoclassical. It gives no materials or dimensions. The palace has a Marble Hall and public gardens that the article describes as a major tourist attraction.
Otto of Greece was born there on June 1, 1815. The City of Salzburg purchased it in 1866. After World War II it housed the mayor's office and municipal departments. The Marble Hall hosts concerts and weddings, and the gardens are public. The article gives no hours.
