Palais Erzherzog Carl Ludwig, Noble palace in Wieden district, Vienna, Austria
Description
Palais Erzherzog Carl Ludwig in Wieden is a noble residence with a central wing and two side sections forming an enclosed courtyard. While the garden side and courtyard retain their original layout, the street-facing facade has been replaced by a modern office building.
History
The palace was commissioned by Franz Freiherr von Prandau in 1780 and designed by architect Adalbertus Hild. Significant expansions were completed in 1799 under architect Franz Wipplinger.
Culture
The building reflects aristocratic architecture through its Neo-Renaissance wooden ceilings and ornate stucco work visible in the interiors. These decorative elements shape the impression of lordly grandeur that visitors notice when entering the preserved rooms.
Practical
Access to the courtyard is through the entrance gate from Favoritenstraße, where the older sections of the courtyard and garden wing are accessible to walk through. Visitors should note that the building remains in active office use, so only the exterior areas can be explored.
Did you know?
The entrance features a Habsburg coat of arms displayed prominently above the gate, clearly marking the building's connection to the imperial family. This heraldic detail with its arched pediment is one of the few original facade elements that survives today.
