Ringturm

The Ringturm rises 73 meters into the Vienna skyline with 23 floors, featuring a contemporary architectural design and glass-dominated exterior surfaces.

Constructed between 1953 and 1955 by architect Erich Boltenstern, this tower marked Vienna's first post-war office building and symbolized the city's reconstruction period.

The entrance hall hosts regular architectural exhibitions focusing on projects from Austria and Eastern Europe, presented without admission fees to visitors.

Located directly at Schottenring subway station, the building includes a weather beacon with 117 lamps that display forecasts through different light patterns.

Each summer since 2006, the tower transforms into an enormous art canvas when international artists create temporary installations covering its entire facade.
