Marble Palace Bad Ischl – Sisi's Cottage
4820 Bad Ischl
The Marmorschlössl in Bad Ischl is an outstanding historical building jewel, known for its unique architecture and cultural significance. The k.u.k. Court gardener Franz Rauch built a two-storey Tudor-style cottage for Empress Elisabeth in the park of the imperial villa from Untersberg marble between 1856 and 1861. Originally, the cottage served as a breakfast salon for the imperial family. Once known as Austria's first photography museum, the Marmorschlössl has developed into a regional cultural center and thus the most attractive exhibition venue in the Salzkammergut.
Parallel to the successful operation of the Marmorschlössl, the premises are being carefully restored. In close cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office, inlaid floors and walls were renovated and the original character of the building was gradually restored. Another important step in this process is the installation of a reconstructed entrance door based on old photographs in 2024, followed by the restoration of the historic windows.

- Comment Access / ramps: For the Marmorschlössl You reach the castle via a steeply ascending path, which is only partially accessible. Marmorschlössl As a listed and historical architectural gem, it has only limited barrier-free access: the exhibition extends over two floors, which are connected by a staircase without a lift. Some artists extend their exhibitions to several areas within the idyllic, though partly hilly, grounds of the Kaiserpark. This makes the park difficult to navigate by wheelchair. The exhibition areas in the North and South Stables, as well as works in the park surrounding the Imperial Villa, are accessible without barriers. Please contact our staff in advance at Marmorschlössl , who will be happy to help make your visit to the exhibition as pleasant as possible. (Tel: +43 664 6007252295 )
