Palais Pallavicini, Neoclassical palace in Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Palais Pallavicini is a neoclassical palace in Vienna's inner city with stately rooms characterized by gilded ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and parquet floors crafted from precious woods. The interiors showcase the fine craftsmanship of the late 1700s with ornately designed walls and period furnishings throughout the ceremonial spaces.
The palace was built in 1784 by architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg for the Fries banking family and later passed into the hands of the Pallavicini nobility. These changes in ownership marked its evolution as an important residence within Vienna's aristocratic circles.
The palace maintains a regular schedule of classical music concerts, art exhibitions, and cultural events in its restored historical chambers.
The palace offers visitors access through guided tours and can be rented for special events and celebrations. Plan ahead by checking available tour times before your visit to make the most of your experience there.
The building served as the filming location for a legendary scene in the 1949 motion picture The Third Man, which brought it international attention. Film enthusiasts recognize the exterior and rooms from this world-famous production scene.
