The Treaty of Schönbrunn, also called the Peace of Vienna, was signed at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna after Austria's defeat by Napoleon at the Battle of Wagram. Austria had to make large territorial concessions: it lost Salzburg and parts of Upper Austria to Bavaria, its Adriatic territories to France, which formed the Illyrian Provinces, and western Galicia to the Duchy of Warsaw, as well as a district to Russia. It also had to pay a large indemnity, reduce its army and join the Continental System against Britain. The treaty marked the low point of Austrian fortunes, and was followed by the rise of Klemens von Metternich as foreign minister and the marriage of Napoleon to the Austrian archduchess Marie Louise.
