Theresianum
Theresianum (or Theresian Academy; german: Theresianische Akademie) is a private boarding and day school governed by the laws for public schools in Vienna, Austria. It was founded in 1746 by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. History Early history (1614–1746) In 1614, the Habsburgs purchased Angerfeldhof, a farmstead located just outside Vienna, and renovated it. ''Favorita'', as the Habsburgs would call the re-modeled farmstead, became their imperial summer residence and a well-known venue for performances in the second half of the 17th century. Although the residence was burned down in the course of the Battle of Vienna in 1683, a bigger and more glamorous ''Neue Favorita'' was rebuilt over the following decades. Three emperors of the Holy Roman Empire – Leopold I, Joseph I and Charles VI – resided in the palace. In 1740, when Charles VI died in ''Neue Favorita'', his eldest daughter Maria Theresa decided not to enter the building again.
