Palais Windisch-Graetz

Palais Windisch-Graetz, also known as Palais Geymann-Windisch-Graetz, is a small Baroque city palace in Vienna's Innere Stadt (Inner City) on Renngasse. It was built in the early 18th century for Johann Carl Freiherr von Geymann and later passed into the hands of the Windisch-Graetz family. Today the building houses Klosterneuburg Abbey of the Canons Regular. Inside, you can admire a historic grand staircase made of Kaiserstein limestone as well as the heavily altered piano nobile from the late 19th century, which points to the princely family's use of the palace for formal, representative purposes.
