The bishop\u2019s palace was first mentioned<\/strong> in a document in 1120<\/strong>. In the 12th<\/sup> century, Konrad I. Bishop of Salzburg moved his living quarters outside of St. Peter\u2019s Abbey and instigated the construction of a bishop\u2019s see. After several alterations and expansions, Prince Archbishop Wolfgang Dietrich had the building partially demolished in 1597 in order to make space for a reconstruction in the style of the late renaissance. In the following centuries, the Residenz saw continuous remodelling as every archbishop wanted to leave his own mark on the palace.<\/p>

After the end of the archbishopric in 1806<\/strong>, members of the Austrian imperial dynasty<\/strong> lived in the palace until 1918. The Residenz Palace was used to demonstrate royal prestige and receive guests of state until the early 20th<\/sup> century. The most notable guest was Emperor Napoleon III<\/strong> who visited Salzburg with his wife Eug\u00e9nie and was received by the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth.<\/p>","icons":null},{"uid":4465,"is":"image-gallery","anchor":"c4465","images":[{"uid":8780,"src":"https:\/\/panoramatours-website.s3.amazonaws.com\/user_upload\/Sehenswuerdigkeiten\/Salzburg\/Residenz_zu_Salzburg_-_Audienzsaal__c__Salzburger_Burgen_und_Schloesser.jpeg","width":1535,"height":1150,"cropArea":{"x":0,"y":104,"width":1533,"height":863},"focusPoint":[50,50],"alt":"Residenz zu Salzburg - Audience Hall \u00a9 Salzburger Burgen und Schl\u00f6sser","title":"Residenz zu Salzburg - Audience Hall \u00a9 Salzburger Burgen und Schl\u00f6sser","description":"\u00a9 Salzburger Burgen und Schl\u00f6sser","dominantColor":"#b28051"}]},{"uid":3739,"is":"simple-text","anchor":"c3739","header":"The Residenz Palace in Detail","bodytext":"
