In 1569, the Habsburgs became the owners of this place. There is a legend that Emperor Matthias, hunting in 1612, witnessed the "beautiful springs" (Schöne Brunnen), it was thanks to this moment that the palace acquired its current name.

The exquisite oil paintings on the ceiling depict pictures of Apollo, Muses and musical angels, Mozart, Brahms, Shi Busts of music masters such as Trauss can be found here. The acoustic effect of the golden hall is also ahead of the world. The architect hollowed out a space under the wooden floor of the high platform, and carefully calculated the division of the upstairs box and the arrangement of the goddess column on the wall, making the golden wooden floor and wall look like a violin. The sound of the band vibrates and swirls in the hall, and the reverberation curls, so that the audience in the hall can enjoy the same level of music performance regardless of whether they are sitting near or far.
