The Residenzgalerie is a part of DomQuartier Salzburg, located in the Old Town and is included in the admission price. Spread out over several rooms you can see fine examples of European painting from the 16th - 19th. The works are nicely displayed and give insights into Baroque Europe. It's a nice complement to the rest of this Baroque complex.
主教宫位于萨尔茨堡旧城区中心,内部很豪华也不太华丽,墙是白色为主感觉很文雅,骑士大厅,宝座大厅等大部分房间的天顶有画,也都很不错。可给我印象最深的是主教卧室旁的小礼拜堂,礼拜堂虽小,但装饰和圣母画都很不错,营造了一个神秘的空间。这些厅堂的上一层成了画廊,这里展示着历代主教收藏的画,规模不大也可以看到伦勃朗和鲁本斯的作品。
I saw this gallery during the visit of domquartier. It's could be very interesting. If you have a lot of time and you are interested you can understand all with audioguide. Instead if you stay in salsburg only 2 days , maybe you can give a fast sight at the gallery during the walk in domquartier.
We visited here on our first day in Saltzburg and it was a good choice except for the steps. My husband was having problems with his knee and this made things difficult for him. Not sure if there is a lift as we didn't come across one at all. Overall, though it was excellent with plenty to see and enjoy.
There is a great art exhibition, but the highlight is the opulence of the Residenz State Rooms. Check the hours because they vary from the gallery.
This place is huge and keeps going. They have restored it to how it was back then and some of the furniture goes back a way too.There is an audio guide which is very informative and signs on the walls. Take the time to wander through, look at the detail like door hinges and the wooden carvings.
We liked the self paced tour with the hand held audio devices. We learnt about the Archbishops residence and lifestyle. Was interesting and is worth the visit.
Buy a ticket for the entire Dom Quarter (9.50 euros) and be prepared to be wowed for several hours. The included self-guided audio tour is excellent. You see not only the magnificent state rooms of Salzburg's prince archbishops with beautiful art, furniture, stucco work and chandeliers, but also several museums displaying priceless very old church vestments and gold and silverware, art galleries with works by Old Masters and more modern pieces, a view of the inside of the cathedral from the organ gallery and a magnificent view of three of Salzburg's town squares from above. An absolute bargain for the price, but to see it properly you need 4 - 5 hours at least.
This attraction has recently been renovated. The self-guide audio commentary (barring some bizarre mistranslations and mispronounced words) gave a fascinating insight into the sheer opulence and splendour enjoyed by the Archbishops and senior clergy in times gone by. Sumptuous furnishings, tapestries, stucco ceilings, paintings and plasterwork, ecclesiastical robes and porcelain. The wealth was derived from the vast supplies of mountain salt which the Church extracted on its landholdings. Well worth a visit on a trip to Salzburg - it explains the similar lavishness of the Churches all around.
This is well worth your time. It will take a few hours to see and helps with the overall understanding of Salzburg history. There are great views of the city center as you cross from the residence to the church area.
