12. Schloß Frohnburg
The baroque Frohnburg Castle was built in the 17th century as a country house for the Prince Archbishops. Today, the castle houses music students from the Mozarteum Music Academy.The castle became really famous in the movie "The Sound of Music" starribg Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Its facade, courtyard and front gate were used for the Trapp Villa in the film.
Maria arrived here after dancing along the Hellbrunn Alley, to meet the von Trapps for the first time. The baron tore the flag down from above the castle's doorway when they returned from their honeymoon and heard about the German occupation of Austria. They pushed their car noiselessly out of the castle's gate when they tried to escape.
