    Originally Gallitzin-Sommerschloss (16, Savoyenstraße 2; Gallitzinberg; called Wilhelminenberg Castle since the 19th century). Field Marshal Franz Moritz Lacy, owner of Neuwaldegg Castle, began building a pleasure house at the Predigtstuhl in 1781. In 1784 he bought grounds for it. It is unclear when the Russian ambassador, Demetrius Fürst Gallitzin, took over the property. In April 1784 the name Gallitzinberg appears.
