Palais Schönborn-Batthyány, Baroque palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
The Palais Schönborn-Batthyány is a Baroque building in Vienna's Innere Stadt with elaborate stonework and evenly spaced windows. The facade shows classic Baroque features with detailed decoration and symmetrical proportions.
The palace was built between 1699 and 1706 under Count Adam Batthyány's commission. The Schönborn family acquired the building in 1740 and gave it the name by which it is known today.
The palace is still owned by the Austrian Schönborn line of Weyerburg and Göllersdorf, though parts are rented out. Since 2016 the Vienna- and New York-based gallery W&K – Wienerroither & Kohlbacher has shown contemporary art on the Bel Etage, with monographic exhibitions of artists such as Günter Brus, Heinz Mack, Günther Uecker and Max Weiler.
The building is located in Vienna's first district at Renngasse 4 and is easily accessible via the Herrengasse (U3) or Schottentor (U2) subway stations. Visitors should note that the rooms host various events and access may vary depending on the program.
