From the 18th century to 1918, Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence of the Habsburg emperors. The 1,441 room Baroque palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural, and historical monuments in Austria. Wikipedia
The following photos, found online, show the areas that were too far away to include within the time we had for our tour.
We weren't allowed to take photos inside the palace so I found images online of several of the rooms that we toured.
Maria Theresa (1717-1780) was crowned Roman-German emperor, she became "empress". But only in colloquial terms. She was never actually crowned empress. Instead she was the crowned Queen of Bohemia and "King" of Hungary. She gave birth to 16 children, ten of whom reached adulthood. The survival of the House of Habsburg-Lothringen was assured. Marie-Antoinette was her youngest child.
