Palais Königswarter, Protected palatial residence in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The palace at Kärntnerring 4 features an understated exterior facade contrasting with elaborate interior rooms adorned with stucco ceilings and wood-paneled walls.
Built between 1860 and 1862 by architects Johann Romano and August Schwendenwein for Jonas von Königswarter, a prominent banker and director of the Austrian National Bank.
Actress Katharina Schratt, a close companion of Emperor Franz Joseph I, resided in a 500-square-meter apartment within the palace from 1890 to 1940.
The palace underwent extensive restoration in 1993, transforming its interior spaces into modern offices and residential apartments while maintaining its historical elements.
Each door handle throughout the palace displays the Königswarter family emblem, while the library features East Asian miniatures and golden carvings on its white ceiling.
