Palais Harrach, Baroque palace in Landstraße, Vienna, Austria.

The Palais Harrach exhibits a thirteen-axis facade with two taller side sections and a round arch portal centered between Tuscan columns.

Count Ferdinand Bonaventura I von Harrach, an imperial ambassador to Spain, purchased the ruined building in 1689 and initiated its reconstruction.

The palace structure marks the introduction of high Baroque architectural design in Vienna, showcasing the period's sophisticated building techniques.

The building underwent extensive restoration between 1948 and 1952 following World War II damage, returning it to its 18th-century appearance.

Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt modified the palace from 1701, incorporating his signature rounded shapes and harmonious architectural compositions.
