Castle Park Water Hellbrunn
Here on the right bank of the river, the main west-east traffic artery – from the Universitätsplatz via the Alter Markt and the Residenzplatz – once ran through this square, gaining added importance with the building of the Sigmund Gate.
In 1620, Paris Lodron put building efforts in the east of the square in the hands of master cathedral architect, Santino Solari, whilst projects in the north came under the eye of court councilor, Friedrich von Rehlingen. At Mozartplatz 1 we find the Neue Residenz, which houses the new Salzburg Museum.
In the middle of the square is the Mozart monument created in 1842 by Ludwig von Schwanthaler, commemorating the world-famous composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791).
