Kornhäusel-Villa, Heritage-protected country villa in Ottakring, Vienna, Austria

The Kornhäusel-Villa is a classicist country house built in 1804 by Joseph Kornhäusel for Joseph Jenamy, embedded in a row of houses in Ottakring. Its restored wooden box windows, panel claddings, parquet floors, stairwell paintings and stencil decoration on the upper floor survive. The ground floor around the old wooden veranda now holds a Greek restaurant, while the first floor has alternative-medicine practices and an office community.

Construction took place in 1804 under architect Joseph Kornhäusel for merchant Joseph Jenamy and it ranks among the oldest surviving residential buildings in Ottakring. This period marks the district's shift from farmland toward expanding urban settlement.

The name "Villa" is misleading: the house was built into a row of buildings, not standing alone. The former wooden veranda area housed a coffee house and now holds a Greek restaurant, while the first floor has alternative-medicine practices and an office community.

The villa stands at the turning loop of tram line 44, between Ottakringer Straße, Montleartstraße, Thaliastraße and Maroltingergasse. The ground floor, once a café and now a Greek restaurant, is open to guests; the first floor holds alternative-medicine practices and an office community, reachable by appointment. Look for the restored wooden box windows, panel cladding, and stencil painting on the upper floor.

The building was not originally a free-standing villa: it stood within a row of houses, which is why the term "Villa" is misleading. The dairy behind it became the "Erste Wiener Kindermilchanstalt" in 1880, supplying milk to Vienna's children's hospitals.
