Palais Wilczek, Baroque palace in Inner Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The Palais Wilczek presents a seven-axis facade nestled between Palais Herberstein and Palais Modena in the heart of Vienna's historic district.
The palace, constructed between 1722 and 1737 by architect Anton Johann Ospel, replaced an earlier structure belonging to the Brassican family.
The Austrian Society for Literature maintains its headquarters in the palace, which housed writers Franz Grillparzer and Joseph von Eichendorff during the 1810s.
The palace remains under private ownership of the Wilczek family, limiting interior access to specific events and appointments through the Austrian Society for Literature.
Count Hans Wilczek, a resident of the palace, funded a North Pole expedition in 1873, resulting in an island being named after him.
