Palais Auersperg, Baroque palace in Josefstadt, Austria
The Palais Auersperg features elegant marble walls, crystal chandeliers, and an oval-shaped central hall known as the Rosenkavalier Room that extends over multiple floors.
Prince Johann Adam Auersperg acquired the palace in 1777 and transformed it according to designs by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Lukas von Hildebrandt.
The palace hosted the Austrian premiere of Mozart's opera Idomeneo in 1781, with the composer making specific modifications for the private performance.
The palace provides access through Lerchenfelderstrasse 2, near the Rathaus subway station and tram line 46, with limited parking available during weekdays.
During World War II, resistance group O5 held meetings in the palace cellars, contributing to the prevention of Vienna's destruction.
