The Mayerling Incident 👑
In 1886, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, only son of Emperor Franz Joseph l of Austria and Empress Elisabeth, and heir to the Austro- Hungarian Crown, acquired the manor and transformed it into a hunting lodge.
It was in this hunting lodge that, on 30 January 1889, he was found dead with his mistress, Baroness, Mary Vetsera, apparently as a result of suicide.
After the deaths of Rudolf and Vetsera, Emperor Franz Joseph, who wanted to found a new church, had the building changed into a monastery which was settled by nuns of the Discalced Carmelite Order.
Today, the building is a museum and tourist attraction in Austria.
