One of the last construction of the Electoral times, Max Franz, the youngest son of Empress Maria Theresia, commissioned the architect Michael Leydel to build a dance and games house for courtly society. This splendid, classical masterpiece is the result. The young Beethoven, who was a member of the Electoral court chapel, played in the large music room. Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' was performed here shortly after its premiere. Today concerts, receptions and large dinners take place in the Redoute.
