House of the Teutonic Order

The House of the Teutonic Order is a medieval building in central Vienna that was expanded and rebuilt over many centuries. Its exteriors show Gothic and Baroque features with stone and brick work, while courtyards and rooms inside contain painted decorations and frescoes.

The order's seat began in 1222 when the Teutonic Knights established themselves in Vienna. The building took its current form through major renovations that finished in 1667.

The name refers to the knights who established the order's presence here centuries ago. Today visitors can see the different rooms that show how the order functioned and lived within these walls.

The building sits within walking distance of Stephansdom cathedral in the city center. Visitors can reach it easily using the U1 or U3 subway lines to Stephansplatz station or by taking buses that serve central Vienna.

The building once housed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and later Johannes Brahms at different times. These famous composers lived here and left their mark on Vienna's musical history.
