Palais Erdödy-Fürstenberg, Baroque castle in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria

The five-story palace on Himmelpfortgasse features a symmetrical facade with seven window axes and a grand entrance portal adorned with hermes figures supporting a balcony.

Count Georg Erdödy acquired the property in 1714, and by 1724 the palace underwent extensive renovations that transformed it into its current baroque architectural form.

Hungarian freedom fighter Prince Ferenc II Rákóczi frequently visited the palace in the 1690s, as commemorated by a dedication plaque on the building.

Located at Himmelpfortgasse 13, the palace now serves as a residence for Francesca Habsburg-Lothringen and houses art exhibitions from her private collection.

The palace entrance hall features cross vaults that lead into a traditional Viennese inner courtyard, reflecting typical 18th-century architectural elements.
