Question:

What happened to the von trapp family home in salsburg austria?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The real Villa von Trapp is in Aigen, 30 miles northwest of Linz in the very north of Austria near the German and Czech borders. After departing Austria in 1938, Georg von Trapp arranged for the Villa von Trapp to be sold to the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, a Catholic community for men. The Nazis, though, had other plans. In 1939 the Villa von Trapp became a headquarters for the infamous Heinrich Himmler, Reichsf㼨rer and head of the SS storm troopers. Himmler built the white wall that now surrounds the property.

After the war, the building was returned to the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. They use the building today for provincial offices and as quarters for the Kolleg St. Josef, a facility for seminarians. In l2001 the International Centre for Culture & Management (ICCM) moved to the Kolleg St. Josef, as well.

The Villa von Trapp in the film "The Sound of Music" is a combination of several Salzburg locations, none of them the original von Trapp home. The tree-shaded lane, where Maria alights from the bus, is Hellbrunner Allee, running south from the old town. Schloss Frohnburg, a 17th century country house, now the Mozarteum Music Academy, was used for the intimidating gates and front entrance of the villa. The lakeside terrace was filmed at Schloss Leopoldskron, a rococo castle on Leopoldskroner Teich, a small artificial lake on the southwest of the town.
