Jagdschloss Karmel Mayerling, Lower Austria, Austria
4.0 (88 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Mayerling Speciality Museums
Beautiful
Given the sad history of this place it is really beautiful and solemnly peaceful, take your time and don't rush this place and it will be worth the visit. We have made the mistake of visiting Mayerling as part of an organised tour, which didn't give us the time needed to explore it thoroughly. So if possible organise to get there by yourself. The drive from Vienna is also picturesque

Closed but nice
Have visited this before as this time due to covid was closed. Still nice to see from outside, quite big area with a nice brand new information center and the main chapel and where the tragedy happened with some showrooms and then the candle chapel. When you come here a must to visit.

A place that left a deep mark in history
We took a tour from Vienna to visit Mayerling and Heiliger Kreuz Abbey, both located no more than 60 km away from the city. If you are not keen on finding out details about how this personal decision of Kronprinz Rudolph affected recent European history, don't go. The museum itself consists in a couple of rooms with pictures of facsimile documents, paintings and some personal effects owned by main actors of this drama. Chapel is small and intimate, prompting traveler to spend a moment of reflection. The natural landscape is very nice. For us it certainly was worth the time.
