Palais Niederösterreich, Renaissance palace in Innere Stadt, Austria
Palais Niederösterreich is a Renaissance palace in Vienna's Innere Stadt, featuring a Gothic chapel with rib vaults and several historic halls. The interior has carved wooden portals and gilded decorative elements spread across multiple rooms.
The building served as the seat of the Lower Austrian estates until 1848, making it a key place of regional government for centuries. In that same year, it became a focal point of the March revolution in Vienna.
The Landtagssaal was a popular concert hall in the 19th century, where composers such as Mozart and Beethoven performed. Today visitors can walk through the room and see its original columns and ornate ceiling decoration.
The palace now functions as an event venue and is also home to Kunstraum Niederösterreich, which hosts art exhibitions. The nearest metro stop is Herrengasse on the U3 line, just a short walk away.
The Landtagssaal has a large ceiling fresco painted by Antonio Beduzzi in 1710, showing symbols of glory and honor. It is considered one of the largest continuous ceiling paintings in Austria.
