Palais Abensperg-Traun, Neo-Renaissance palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.

Palais Abensperg-Traun is a Neo-Renaissance palace in central Vienna, constructed with a round corner tower as a focal point. The rusticated ground floor and mezzanine levels create a layered base that supports the upper stories along Weihburggasse.

The palace was built between 1872 and 1874 by architect Ludwig Tischler for Count Hugo Abensperg-Traun. The site occupied former military fortification ground.

The palace displays the Abensperg-Traun family coat of arms above its portal, featuring a divided cartouche in silver and black. This heraldic emblem reflects the family's prominent standing in Viennese society.

The building stands at the corner of Weihburggasse 26 and Schellinggasse 2 in the first district. The main entrance features a distinctive korbbogen portal framed by pilasters, making it easy to locate.

The windows on the piano nobile alternate between triangular and segmental pediments, each supported by Ionic three-quarter columns. This rhythmic window composition creates visual movement across the main facade.
