The Mirabell Gardens were redesigned under Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun around 1690. The basic geometric shape characteristic of the Baroque can still be seen. Its optical orientation towards the cathedral and fortress gives the garden a grandiose effect - and at the same time incorporates it into the whole of the historical cityscape.

It all began - as so often - with a love story. In 1606, Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau decided to build a pleasure palace for his lover Salome Alt. Altenau Castle was built, at that time just outside the city gates, a love nest with a garden in honor of his beloved. Mirabell Palace got its current name under Wolf Dietrich's successor, Markus Sittikus von Hohenems. By the way, Mirabell is made up of mirabile, which can be translated as “admirable”, and bella for “beautiful”. The palace and Mirabell Gardens were only incorporated into the city fortifications under Archbishop Paris Lodron in the middle of the 17th century. At that time the garden was laid out in the early Baroque style, enclosed by a wall, inside of which kitchen beds could be found as well as tree and flower quarters as well as a bitter orange and fig house. The flower-rich gem was released for public use and thus accessible to everyone by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1854. Today the entire complex is a listed building and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Mirabell Gardens lie on a north/south axis that directs the view towards the cathedral and the fortress.
From 1689 the castle garden was redesigned under Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst Thun according to plans by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, and changed a second time around 1730 by Franz Anton Danreiter.
Another redesign in the 19th century led to the demolition of various elements (e.g. the arcades towards Mirabellplatz, the "old" dwarf garden). The large parterre is the most original part of today's Mirabell Gardens.
