Altes Rathaus, Vienna, Historical administrative building in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria

The Altes Rathaus features a Baroque entrance gate from 1700 and contains a central courtyard with an Andromeda Fountain created in 1714.

Frederick the Fair transferred ownership of this building to the Vienna city council in 1316, establishing its role as a center of municipal administration.

The Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance, located within the building, maintains records about resistance movements and Nazi persecution during World War II.
