Bratislava Castle

 

 

 

When Maria Theresa of Austria  became the queen

 

of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1740,

 

she promised to the nobles of the kingdom that she would have

 

a residence both in Austria  and in the Kingdom of Hungary –

 

that is in Bratislava (Pressburg) Castle.

 

 

She kept the promise and  a corresponding conversion

 

of the defense castle into a (at that time)

 

modern royal residence was performed between 1761 and 1766.
