Hofstallungen, Imperial stables in Vienna, Austria
The Hofstallungen forms a rectangular complex with grand facades and spacious interiors that accommodated 600 horses and 200 imperial carriages at its peak.
Built between 1713 and 1723 under Emperor Charles VI, architects Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and his son Joseph Emanuel created this Baroque masterwork.
The building displays ornate horse portraits above doors and windows, reflecting the importance of equestrian traditions in imperial Vienna's social structure.
Now part of MuseumsQuartier, the former stables house exhibition spaces, cultural institutions, and public gathering areas accessible through wide staircases.
During the Napoleonic Wars, French forces established their command post in the stables, leading to substantial damage from city-directed artillery fire.
