Palais Herberstein, City palace at Michaelerplatz, Vienna, Austria
The Palais Herberstein is a Neo-Baroque building constructed between 1897 and 1898 that rises along Michaelerplatz in Vienna, spreading across multiple levels. Its symmetrical facade displays elaborate stone ornamentation and stands prominently at the corner where Michaelerplatz meets Herrengasse.
Architect Carl König designed the building to replace the earlier Palais Dietrichstein on this site. The design drew inspiration from architectural elements visible in the nearby Hofburg Imperial Palace.
The Café Griensteidl once operated within the palace and served as a meeting place for writers and artists. Felix Salten, author of Bambi, was among those who frequented the space.
The building now houses offices and ground-floor retail spaces, including a supermarket. Its central location at Michaelerplatz makes it easily accessible for visitors exploring the surrounding area.
The building originally featured a dome on its roof that was removed during a 1936 renovation by architect Felix Nemečić. This modification created space for additional floors and permanently altered the roofline that visitors see today.
