About Palais Damian
The Baroque Palais Damian in Vienna's Josefstadt district was built around 1700 as a garden palace for the timber merchant Karl August von Damian. Later alterations in the 18th century added wings that created a courtyard of honor and closed off the originally open arcades. The facade stands out for its rusticated base, Corinthian columns, and a blind balustrade. Today you can visit the historic building, which has been owned by the City of Vienna since 1936 and now serves as the headquarters of the disability association KOBV. The entrance area, flanked by a wrought-iron gate and columns topped with putti, underscores the stately character of this important architectural monument.

The palace changed hands frequently, with each owner making their own adaptations to the building. The central sections date from the early 18th century, while the second floor was a later addition.
