'The magnificent architecture and the exquisite decor of its state rooms marks Schonbrunn out as a cultural treasure and tourist attraction of the first order,' the spokesperson said. 'In an imperial setting, guests can wine and dine like an emperor and bed down like a princess.' The property was first purchased in 1569 by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II to serve as a recreational hunting ground. The palace got the name Schonbrunn, which means 'beautiful spring', thanks to an artesian well on the grounds. Schonbrunn Palace was first built and remodelled between 1740 and 1750, during the reign of Maria Theresa, who had received it as a wedding gift. Franz I redecorated the estate in its now-signature neoclassical style. Franz Joseph, a former Austrian emperor, spent a great deal of time at Schonbrunn until his death in 1916. When the Habsburg Monarchy fell in 1918, the newly-founded Austrian Republic took control of the property and turned it into a museum. After World War II, the palace served as offices for British military officers, before being turned into a museum once again in 1955. Since the mid-1950s, it's been a major tourist attraction and the location of some important historical events, such as a meeting between US President John F Kennedy and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. In 1996, UNESCO inducted the Schonbrunn Palace onto the World Heritage List.
