Hellbrunn Palace, built by Santino Solari under Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus from 1612 - 1615, with its spacious park, trick fountains and the mechanical theater, is one of the most beautiful examples of manneristic architecture north of the Alps and unique throughout Europe. Hellbrunn Zoo with its outdoor habitats integrated into the natural surroundings has gained international recognition. Markus Sittikus had the natural stone quarry in Hellbrunn transformed into a stage, creating the "Steintheater" - Stone Theater, the oldest open-air stage in Europe. |
