Kornhäuselturm, Tower building in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Kornhäuselturm stands as a nine-story tower with minimalist walls and small window openings in the central district of Vienna.
Built between 1825 and 1827 by architect Joseph Kornhäusel, this tower marked the beginning of vertical construction in Vienna's architectural landscape.
Writer Adalbert Stifter resided in the tower from 1842 to 1848, where he documented a total solar eclipse from its observation platform.
The tower combines residential spaces with a restaurant, allowing visitors to experience both its architectural features and dining facilities.
At the time of construction, the tower measured over 35 meters tall and held the title of Vienna's tallest non-religious structure.
