Palais Erzherzog Albrecht, Baroque palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.

Palais Erzherzog Albrecht is a baroque palace at Albertinaplatz with five stories, white stone walls, and classical architectural details throughout. The interior contains grand staircases, elegant halls, and exhibition spaces that retain the building's historical character.

The site began as the Hofbauamt, built in the second half of the 17th century. From 1742 to 1745 its owner, Count Emanuel Silva-Tarouca, Maria Theresa's adviser and court building director, converted it into Palais Taroucca. Duke Albert Casimir of Saxe-Teschen acquired it in 1795 and housed his art collection here; Louis Montoyer extended it in 1801–1805, linking it to the Hofburg.

This palace served as a residence for archduke and imperial family members, making it a symbol of Habsburg power in the city center. Today visitors can explore how the rooms display musical heritage and art history through exhibitions open to the public.

The palace is located at Albertinaplatz and easily accessible through its main entrance in a central location. Visitors should note that opening hours vary and guided tours are available in multiple languages.

The palace does not sit on the Augustinian Bastion but stands beside it: the bastion is the raised forecourt, about 10 m above street level, on which the bronze equestrian statue of Archduke Albrecht was placed in 1899, facing the State Opera. Since 2003 a lift and an escalator cut into the bastion beneath Hans Hollein's "Soravia Wing" lead up from Albertinaplatz to the main entrance.
