Quando pensas numa casa de Verão não consegues imaginar que seria o Schönbrunn mas pensando nessa funcionalidade que a Imperatriz Maria Teresa o mandou construir, ela que teve dezasseis filhos e mais que nenhum outro monarca precisava de algo tão grandioso. Tudo começou com um pequeno pavilhão de caça e sobre ele outro palácio que Leopoldo I tinha projetado para o seu filho mas foi o pai de Maria Teresa que lhe ofereceu e ela aproveitou para o transformar no que agora chamam"Versalhes de Viena". E é inevitável deixar de fazer comparações.
When you think of a summer house you can not imagine that would be the Schönbrunn but thinking of that functionality made Empress Maria Theresa built it, she had sixteen children and more than any other monarch needed something this grand. It all started with a small hunting lodge and on to another palace which Leopold I had designed for his son but the father of Maria Theresa decided to give it to her and she took advantage to turn it in what is now called "Versailles of Vienna". And it is inevitable not to make comparisons.
