Schonbrunn Palace represents Paris' Louvre and Fontainbleau, as well as the King's bedchamber, Marie-Therese's bedroom-anteroom, and the Royal Dining Room. The palace, with its exquisite wood carvings, tapestries, and art work, was constructed by Emperor Joseph I about 1700 and renovated by Queen Marie-Therese in 1740. Then in 1805, Napoléon Bonaparte used the palace for his headquarters. The grand ballrooms were still the settings for formal social events and state functions and were open during the day for public viewing.
