Palais Rothschild, Neoclassical palace in Wieden district, Vienna, Austria.

The Palais Rothschild features three stories with a U-shaped layout, French Neo-Renaissance architecture, and a grand marble staircase at its entrance hall.

After the 1938 Nazi annexation of Austria, Adolf Eichmann utilized this palace for operations regarding Jewish emigration, leading to numerous extortion cases.

The palace contained extensive collections of paintings, statues, furniture, books, and armor, reflecting the Rothschild family's influence in European banking.

The palace structure, located at Heugasse 26, now Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20-22, remained until 1954 when demolition crews required dynamite due to its solid construction.

The building incorporated a private observatory with telescopes and housed an orchestrion machine capable of reproducing the sound of an entire orchestra.

Location: Vienna

Architects: Ludwig Förster
