Leopoldskroner Weiher

this is the lake as featured in the film "The Sound of Music" The palace, Schloss Leopoldskron built in 1736, had several owners during the 19th century and was bought in 1918 by the famous theatre director Max Reinhardt, co-founder of the Salzburg Festival. While Reinhardt was in Hollywood during World War II the palace was confiscated as a national treasure and "Jewish property". During the same year, the estate was turned over by Hermann Göring to Stephanie von Hohenlohe who transformed it into a guest house for prominent artists of the Reich and to serve as a reception facility to Hitler's Berghof home. The property was later returned to the Reinhardt estate. Reinhardt himself, however, never returned and died in 1943 in New York
