Palais Rothschild, Neoclassical palace in Wieden district, Vienna, Austria.
Description
Palais Rothschild was a three-story building with French Neo-Renaissance architecture arranged in a U-shaped layout. A grand marble staircase dominated the entrance hall of this residence.
History
The palace was built as a residence for the Rothschild family and later served as an administrative center for emigration matters during the occupation after 1938. The building was demolished in 1954 due to the difficulty of dismantling its solid construction.
Culture
The Rothschild family used this residence as the center of their Vienna life, displaying artworks and furnishings accumulated over decades. The place reflected their standing as major figures in European finance and banking.
Practical
The building was located at Heugasse 26, later known as Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20-22, in Vienna's Wieden district. Since it no longer exists, historical records and photographs are the only way to see what it once looked like.
