The Burggarten was constructed
in 1819 by Ludwig v. Remy und Franz Antoine. It is situated
in the first district of Vienna quite close to the Hofburg and
the Opera house.
The garden contains some very famous monuments, perhaps the
most famous being that of W.
A. Mozart, but Goethe and Emperor Franz Joseph I can also
be seen in the park. In 1901 the "butterfly house"
was constructed in the Burggarten. It contains hundreds of free-flying
tropical butterflies enjoying a full and natural life in a real
tropical environment.
