Billrothhaus, Neo-Renaissance medical building in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria.
The Billrothhaus is a Neo-Renaissance building in Alsergrund designed with five-axis symmetry, arched windows with Corinthian pilasters, and a grand entrance featuring original terrazzo floors. The rooms contain a substantial medical library that serves physicians and medical students in Vienna.
The building was constructed between 1892 and 1893 by architect Ludwig Richter and became the headquarters of the Collegium Medicum in Vienna. It reflected the medical reform movement that shaped the city during this period.
The building carries the legacy of Theodor Billroth, a surgeon who shaped medical education in Vienna and whose personal collections remain visible in the rooms today.
The building is accessible on weekdays, usually from 9 AM to 1 PM, with extended hours on Wednesdays until 4 PM. It is worth checking ahead if special tours or visits are available.
The library grew through acquisitions of international scientific journals and contributions from medical institutions across Europe. This collection made it a significant hub for exchanging medical knowledge between continents.
