Altes Rathaus, Vienna, Historical administrative building in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
Altes Rathaus is an administrative building in Vienna's inner city district featuring a Baroque entrance gate built in 1700. The building contains a central courtyard with an Andromeda Fountain from 1714 and now houses municipal offices alongside local history exhibits.
Frederick the Fair granted the building to Vienna's city council in 1316, establishing it as the seat of city government. This transfer marked the beginning of its centuries-long role in managing the affairs of the capital.
The building houses the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance, where visitors can explore records about those who opposed Nazi rule. The archive serves as a place where the stories of resistance fighters and victims are preserved for people to learn from today.
The building is easily accessible on foot in Vienna's historic center near other notable landmarks. Be aware that different offices and institutions within the building may have varying opening hours and visitor access.
The building is connected to the Gothic Sankt Salvator church, which became part of the Old Catholic Church of Austria in 1871. This physical and spiritual link reflects how city governance and religious life were historically intertwined in Vienna.
