Frohnburg Palace - Salzburg

Frohnburg Palace, locally known as Schloss Frohnburg, is located on the Hellbrunner Allee in Salzburg, Austria. The Baroque palace was built by Prince Archbishop Max Gandolf in 1680 as a summer home originally called Schloss Grafenau. In later years when it came into the possession of the Frohnburg family, it was given the name it still more famously retains. The palace became a pop culture landmark when it was used as the home of the Von Trapp’s in 1965’s The Sound of Music, although it had no connection in real life to the family. Exterior scenes were shot around the palace, most notably of Maria’s arrival along the Hellbrunner Allee and her entrance into the palace grounds as she sings “I Have Confidence.” The location used for shots of the back of the Von Trapp home, seen in shots across Leopoldskroner Weiher, is located at Leopoldskron Palace. All interior shots were filmed on soundstages. Today the palace is part of Salzburg University.
