Vienna Hofburg - Imperial Apartments, Sisi Museum, Silver Collection

From 1857 Elisabeth occupied the main floor of the Amalia Wing which was adjacent to the emperor’s apartments. Elisabeth used this room both as her private drawing-room and as her bedroom. The bed stood in the middle of the room and was shielded by a folding screen. At the writing-desk in the far window embrasure Elisabeth attended to her correspondence and wrote some of her numerous poems. Today a facsimile of her Will is displayed on the desk. www.hofburg-wien.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.
