Palais Ephrussi, Neo-Renaissance palace in Innere Stadt, Austria

The five-story Palais Ephrussi stands on Universitätsring 14, featuring ornate architectural details and a glass-covered courtyard with an Apollo terracotta fountain.

Architect Theophil von Hansen constructed this Ringstraßenpalais between 1872 and 1873 for banker Ignaz von Ephrussi, who originated from Odessa.

The palace maintains a grand vestibule, ceremonial staircase, and formal residential spaces that reflect the architectural preferences of Vienna's 19th-century elite.

The building sits across from Schottentor transportation hub, near the University of Vienna main building and the Votivkirche church.

A collection of 264 netsuke figurines survived World War II hidden in a mattress by a loyal household employee during Nazi occupation.
