The Schonbrunn Palace is one of the most important cultural and architectural monuments in Austria, with 1,441 rooms and a total of over 20 acres of landscaped parkland. It was constructed by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II between 1568 and 1569 on the site of the previous Katterburg mansion. The palace has been the setting for many international films, including the Sissi movies with Romy Schneider and Sophia Loren. It was also the location of a James Bond film, The Living Daylights. Its name comes from the fair spring that arose in the grounds of the palace, built by court gardener Adrian van Steckhoven in the early 1570s. The fountains supplied drinking water to the imperial court, and the water was transported daily to the Hofburg.

After the emperor's death, the construction of the Schonbrunn palace was delayed. Architects relied heavily on the designs of von Erlach, but the architect died in 1723. Nikolaus Pacassi took over and changed the original plans. The building works of the palace were completed by the end of 1753. During the construction phase of the Schönbrunn palace, the first dovecote was built in the courtyard. Pigeons were kept in the dovecote for eggs. Eventually, chickens replaced the birds because they were easier to care for.
