Who was Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria?
Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, in Italian Luigi Salvatore Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Battista Dominico Raineri Ferdinando Carlo Zenobio Antonino, in German Ludwig Salvator Maria Joseph Johann Baptist Dominicus Rainerius Ferdinand Carl Zenobius Antonin, is known as a champion for Majorca's wildlife, in an era when the term "conservation" meant nothing.
He settled on Majorca, buying up wild areas in order to preserve and enjoy it. His main home of Son Marroig, near the village of Deià is now a museum. Much of what was his property now belongs to Michael Douglas, most notably the Moorish style palace 'S'Estaca' that Ludwig converted from a ruined old manor house.
In Přerov nad Labem, Bohemia he founded the first open air museum in Central and Eastern Europe.
