Palais Sturany

The Palais Sturany on Schottenring in Vienna's Innere Stadt (Inner City) is a stately Ringstrasse building constructed from 1874 to designs by Fellner and Helmer. Its four-story facade stands out for its neo-Baroque style in exposed stone and a striking oriel above the entrance, supported by Atlantes. Inside, artists such as Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch contributed to the decoration. After serving as home to the International Commercial Bank and the Catholic Theological Faculty of the University of Vienna, the building underwent extensive renovation. Today it houses the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, which is dedicated to dialogue between religions and cultures.
