Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Castle that was to play such a large role in Jack Lee’s life was fourteen miles to the southwest of where he was. Schloss Itter, as it’s called in German, was a hilltop castle that commanded the entrance to Austria’s Brixental valley.
#2 Schloss Itter was a castle that was looted and partially destroyed during the 1515–1526 Tyrolean peasant uprising. It was rebuilt beginning in 1532, and was home to an ecclesiastical court charged with suppressing witchcraft in the region.
#3 The castle remained in disrepair even after Tyrol returned to Austrian rule following the 1814–1815 Congress of Vienna. But in 1878, a Munichbased entrepreneur named Paul Spiess bought the property and turned it into a large and exclusive inn. The hotel ultimately failed, and in 1884, the disappointed businessman sold the castle to one of Europe’s most acclaimed musicians, Sophie Menter.
#4 Following the Anschluss, Nazi Germany set about erasing all vestiges of independent Austria. The country was divided into seven administrative districts, the Reichsgaue, with Itter and the rest of Tyrol governed by a Nazi functionary based in Vorarlberg.
