Rosa Lila Villa, LGBTQ+ community center in Linke Wienzeile, Austria
The Rosa Lila Villa is a pink-fronted building on Linke Wienzeile that serves as a hub for counseling and community programs. It contains residential spaces, consultation rooms, and a restaurant on the ground floor that welcomes visitors to the center.
The building was originally scheduled for demolition but was saved in 1984 through negotiations between activists and city officials. A long-term lease allowed it to become an important center for support and community.
The center serves as a gathering space where people find community support and counseling tailored to their needs. Visitors notice how the building functions as both a refuge and a resource hub for individuals seeking guidance and connection.
The building is fully accessible and offers orientation aids and facilities for different visitor needs. You should take time to explore the different areas and learn about the services available.
The center established Queer Base in 2016, a specialized initiative supporting refugees facing displacement and persecution. This program demonstrates the organization's commitment to extending care beyond local communities.
