Idyllically situated in the midst of the former imperial hunting grounds, now the Lainzer Tiergarten, is the “palace of dreams,” as Empress Elisabeth once called her villa. Emperor Francis Joseph gave it to her in hopes of persuading his wife—an avid traveler—to spend more time in Vienna.
It took the famous Ringstrasse architect Carl von Hasenauer more than five years to build the villa, a model for many romantic country homes designed for the high bourgeoisie. The villa takes its name from the "Hermes as Guardian" statue that stands in the garden.
