  • Review this attraction
  • On the site of this élite school stood an imperial summer palace, until it was destroyed by Turkish troops in 1683. On its ruins the Italian architect Lodovico Burnacini built the Theresianum (1687–90). The long building with a sober façade was named after Empress Maria Theresa, who installed an educational institute here for young nobility. Today it is a private school and a diplomatic academy.
