Geymüllerschlössel, Gothic Revival villa and art museum in Pötzleinsdorf, Austria
The Geymüllerschlössel is a villa with Gothic and Moorish architectural elements in Pötzleinsdorf near Vienna that now functions as an art museum. The building features an elaborately decorated exterior and richly appointed interior spaces that display furniture and art objects from the 1800s.
The villa was built in 1808 as a summer residence for banker Johann Jakob Geymüller and later passed through several owners. In the mid-1900s the house became part of Vienna's Museum of Applied Arts.
The house displays furniture and clocks from the early 1800s that show how wealthy Viennese decorated their homes. These objects reveal what items were valued and treasured in daily life during that era.
The museum is open on weekends from May through November and admission is free for visitors under 19 years old. Allow time to explore both the house interior and the outdoor park installations, keeping weather conditions in mind.
The park grounds include contemporary art installations by artists such as James Turrell, who created a Sky Space work there. These modern artworks provide an interesting contrast to the historical villa.
