If you’ve watched the award-winning musical film “The Sound of Music“, this place might look familiar. It was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his mistress. The Sound of Music was based on the real-life von Trapp family who lived in Salzburg before World War II! The spot shown above is where Julie Andrews performed the song “Do Re Mi” in the movie.
