Heiligenkreuzerhof, Medieval chapel and residential complex in Innere Stadt, Austria

The Heiligenkreuzerhof features two connected courtyards with stone masonry works, cellar vaults, and a Baroque chapel between Schönlaterngasse and Grashofgasse streets.

The residential complex, constructed in the 12th century, belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz and underwent major renovations between 1659 and 1676.

The Bernardikapelle chapel contains decorative works by artists Martino Altomonte and Giovanni Giuliani, who influenced Viennese Baroque art in the 17th century.

The complex functions as a passage building with entrances at both ends, allowing pedestrians to cross between Schönlaterngasse and Grashofgasse streets.

Austrian writer Helmut Qualtinger resided in one of the apartments from 1975 to 1986, and a memorial plaque now commemorates his presence.
