Palais Fürstenberg, Neoclassical palace in First District, Vienna, Austria
Description
Palais Fürstenberg is a four-story Neoclassical building in Vienna's First District with seven window axes on Grünangergasse and six on Domgasse. The ornamental portal framed by Tuscan columns defines the streetscape of the neighborhood.
History
Ernst Freiherr von Hatzenberg commissioned the palace in the 1710s and construction was completed in 1720 under architect Antonio Beduzzi's direction. The building has remained a significant example of Vienna's Neoclassical architecture from that era.
Culture
The entrance hall displays classical marble elements and stucco decorations with statues of deities like Minerva, Mercury, Venus, and Hercules. These figures reflect the wealth and learning of the original owners.
Practical
The building currently serves as the headquarters of the Austrian Book Trade Association and holds status as a protected historical monument in Vienna's city center. Keep in mind this is an active business site, so access to interiors may be restricted.

Two sculpted windhounds representing the heraldic animals of the von Hatzenberg family guard the main entrance portal. These heraldic figures are a rare detail that many passersby overlook.
