Presentation of the illustrated book 'Prunk. The Residenz in Salzburg as a Place of Beauty'

The DomQuartier Salzburg presents the illustrated book Splendor: The Salzburg Residence as a Place of Beauty. The volume takes readers on a journey through the magnificent history of the Salzburg Residence, which served for centuries as a stage for political and ecclesiastical representation. Lavish photographs and accompanying texts open the doors to hidden spaces and reveal the building’s artistic splendor—a sensual journey to the heart of Salzburg’s World Heritage Site.

The event begins with a welcome address by Andrea Stockhammer, Director of the DomQuartier, followed by a panel discussion with editor Michaela Schachner, author Christoph Brandhuber, and photographer Florian Stürzenbaum. The presentation is musically framed by works by Georg Friedrich Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Arvo Pärt, and Astor Piazzolla, performed by Florian Moser (violin) and Peter Peinstingl (piano).

Afterward, a reception offers the opportunity to explore the Residence’s opulent rooms.
