The inside story
Miramare Castle, located on a cliff in Grignano near Trieste, is a former Habsburg residence. The extravagant white castle overlooks the Gulf of Trieste and is set on 54 acres of picturesque grounds and botanical gardens.
The castle was built between 1856 and 1860 as a residence for the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Charlotte of Belgium. After the death of Maximilian in 1867 and Charlotte’s subsequent departure for Belgium, the castle continued to serve as an occasional home to the Habsburg family until the 20th century.
