Palais Rothschild, City palace in Heugasse, Vienna, Austria.

The palace features a U-shaped layout with three floors, set back from the street by a courtyard and enclosed by an iron fence.

The Nazis seized the building in 1938, forcing the Rothschild family into exile and converting the palace into the Central Agency for Jewish Emigration.

The interior contained marble staircases, painted ceilings by Jean de Witt and Tiepolo, and parquet floors made from rare woods.

The palace incorporates a private observatory accessible through a wooden staircase starting from the second floor.

The palace housed two orchestrions, mechanical musical instruments capable of replacing an entire orchestra during social gatherings.
