Markus Sittikus
Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, 1612-1619, prince-bishop to Salzburg, commissioned the Italian architect Santino Solari to build the Hellbrunn Summer Palace.
 
The passions of Markus Sittikus

Imagine a man who is simultaneously a prince and an archbishop; a man of power with a wealth of gold and salt. His name: Markus Sittikus. His vision: to create such a place that had never previously existed.

The power of Markus Sittikus reached far beyond Salzburg. He ruled a region from Carinthia in the south to Regensburg in the north. But why did he have Hellbrunn built in only three years...? Well, it was simply his love of life. You can still feel this passion today: Hellbrunn is more than a summer palace with a park and the unique trick fountains - Hellbrunn is a love of life.
