Palais Herberstein, City palace at Michaelerplatz, Vienna, Austria
The Neo-Baroque Palais Herberstein displays a symmetrical facade with ornate stone decorations and extends over multiple floors at the intersection of Michaelerplatz and Herrengasse.
Built between 1897 and 1898 by architect Carl König, the palace replaced Palais Dietrichstein and incorporated design elements that referenced the nearby Hofburg Imperial Palace.
The palace's former tenant, Café Griensteidl, served as a gathering place for writers, including Felix Salten, who wrote the story of Bambi.
The building currently contains offices of Raiffeisen Zentralbank and includes retail spaces on the ground floor, with a supermarket opening its doors in 2020.
The original dome that crowned the palace was removed during a 1936 renovation by architect Felix Nemečić to accommodate additional floors.
