I te tau 1888, ko te Empress o Austria i muri i te haerenga ki te waahi i whakatau ko te waahi pai mo tana whare rangatira i Corfu. I hoahoahia te whare rangatira e te kaihoahoa Itari a Raffaele Caritto, a i hangaia i runga i te rohe o 200,000 m2. Ko te tane a Elisabeth, Emperor Franz Josef o Austria, i whai whenua tata ano hoki. I tonoa te kaituhi Tiamana a Ernst Herter ki te hanga mahi i whakaaweahia mai i te pakiwaitara Kariki. Ko tana whakairo i hangaia i Berlin i te tau 1884 i tuhia ki roto i te whakapakoko, ko te pokapū o te Question Gardens.
