I hated this palace, it was extremely unsettling and disturbing. It was a hunting getaway for Franz Ferdinand and there were literally thousands of dead animals, each mount included the date, location, and it's number. This gives the impression that he was seriously mentally disturbed. He most likely suffered from OCD and hoarding. The palace was a show of masculinity and power hungriness, all of which were totally overly done. Franz Ferdinand bought these animals and had them shipped to this palace for the sole purpose of hunting which he did purely for entertainment. I think that this is a great representation of the empire. It's obsession for control and to exude its power over everything and everyone.
