Palais Trauttmansdorff

Palais Trauttmansdorff on Herrengasse is a landmark-protected Baroque building in Vienna's first district. The six-bay structure dates from the middle of the 17th century and had a Neoclassical upper story added in the late 18th century. You can admire the historic facade, while inside, medieval cellar vaults still hint at the site's long building history. From 1639 to 1940, the property served as the residence of the Trauttmansdorff family of counts and princes. Today the palace is managed and leased out by an insurance company. Its location right between Palais Batthyány and Palais Porcia on Freyung, a square in the old town, underscores the urban-planning significance of the ensemble.
