The Burggarten was constructed
in 1819 by Ludwig v. Remy und Franz Antoine. It is situated
in the first district of Vienna quite close to the Hofburg and
the Opera house.
The garden contains some very famous monuments, perhaps the
most famous being that of Mozart, but Goethe and Emperor Franz
Joseph I can also be seen in the park. In 1901 the "butterfly
house" was constructed in the Burggarten. It contains hundreds
of free-flying tropical butterflies enjoying a full and natural
life in a real tropical environment.
