Altenau Palace was a palace in Salzburg, Austria, which built in 1606 and demolished in the 1720s to make way for the Mirabell Palace, which stands on the same site. It was the home of prince-archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau. In 1606 the prince-archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau built a palace for his mistress, Salome Alt and their children outside the Bergstraßtor gate of Salzburg. The immediate reason for building the palace was an attack of gout that the archbishop had suffered during the winter of 1604/1605, and a stroke that had caused a weakness of his right arm that lasted four months. After his recovery, he had built this pleasure-palace for himself and his family to escape the crowded city. His appreciation of this new home can be seen in a plaque inscribed in Latin, and brought by Markus Sittikus to the Salzburg Residenz:
