Marmorschlössl
The Marmorschlössl was the refuge of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth ( Sisi ) in Bad Ischl ( Salzkammergut ). Since 1978 it has housed the Photo Museum of the federal state of Upper Austria .
location
The Marmorschlössl is located in the northwest of the Kaiserpark of Bad Ischl above the Kaiservilla , the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth .
history
The court gardener Franz Rauch built a Tudor-style cottage for the Empress in the Ischl Imperial Park between 1856 and 1861 from Untersberg marble . After the name of the building material it was named Marmorschlössl , although the stone of the Untersberg consists of limestone .
The Empress retired to the “Schlösschen” to write poems, plan her travels and receive friends. The Marmorschlössl remained private property even after the end of the Danube Monarchy because it was inherited by the Emperor's daughter Marie Valerie and her husband Franz Salvator of Austria-Tuscany as personal property within the family.
After the First World War it served various purposes and threatened to deteriorate temporarily. In 1975 Markus Habsburg-Lothringen signed a contract with the Province of Upper Austria for a period of 50 years. He transferred the rights of use to the land; In return, the state took over the maintenance of the building.

The Marmorschlössl has been one of the locations of the Upper Austrian State Museums since 1978 . The state of Upper Austria housed Hans Frank's photo collection, which had been in Salzburg until then . In addition to photos, the collection also includes historical cameras. There are also temporary exhibitions. The building is also used for concert evenings and readings.
In 2005 the Photo Museum had 10,000 visitors, in 2012 there were 11,500.
