257 Hermesvilla is a palace in the Lainzer Tiergarten, in Vienna, a former hunting area for the Habsburg nobility. Emperor Franz Joseph I gave it to his wife Empress Elisabeth (nicknamed "Sisi"), (so she would stay in Vienna more often!!) and he called it the "castle of dreams.“ The name of the villa refers to a statue of Hermes made of white marble that is located in the garden of the villa. Today, the Hermesvilla is noted for its art and natural setting, and is used by the Vienna Museum for special exhibitions on cultural history. The Palace was built in 1881. It is about 10 miles SW of the center of Vienna. A peaceful retreat from the busy city. Although used for special occasions it is not open to the public. This is what it says about itself.
