Porcelain plate decorated with fine veduta painting: In the mirror an octagonal picture panel in front of a golden background with a border of leafy vines painted in matt gold and fan medallions above and below the picture, depicting the castle of Prince Gallizin on the hill called 'Predigtstuhl', on the Wilhelminenberg in present-day Vienna. Red-brown plate flag with delicate intertwined leaf tendrils in gold, and gold rim on the outer edge. Inscription on the underside of the plate: 'Vue du château d'une terre, dite: Predigtstuhl; au mont nommé: du prince Gallizin, prés de Vienne.' - View of the castle on a plot of land, called: Predigtstuhl; on the mountain, as named: of Prince Gallizin, near Vienna. Originally Gallitzin-Sommerschloss (16th, Savoyenstraße 2; Gallitzinberg; since the 19th century called Schloss Wilhelminenberg). Field Marshal Franz Moritz Lacy, owner of Neuwaldegg Castle, began building a summer residence on the Predigtstuhl in 1781. Still in 1784 he bought grounds for it. When the Russian ambassador, Demetrius Prince Gallitzin, took over the property is unclear. In April 1784 the name Gallitzinberg already appears. Therefore, he probably held the property as a tenant before that. The castle was surrounded by a large park, which contained three ponds and fountains and was open to the public. Meadows and woods were also part of the property. The whole complex became the property of Prince Romanzow after the death of Prince Gallitzin in 1795. from 1802 to 1824, the building and the mountain had eight different owners, until finally in 1824, the princely couple Jules Max Thibault Prince Montleart, who came from France, and his wife Maria Christine acquired the property. After the death of Jules in 1865, following an inheritance dispute, the property came to his son from his first marriage Moritz Prince Montléart († 1887), who gave the castle property to his wife (1855) Wilhelmine, née Fitzgerald, in 1866. After her, the name 'Wilhelminenberg' was coined, which is used not only for the castle, but partly synonymously for the Gallitzinberg until today.
