Today, the castle houses music students from the Mozarteum Music Academy.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 over the palace 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.
