Palais Ofenheim, Palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna.

The Palais Ofenheim is a palace in Vienna's Innere Stadt, located at Schwarzenbergplatz 15 and displaying architectural elements characteristic of the Ringstrassen style from the late 19th century. The building combines residential spaces with original office areas in a structured arrangement typical of the generous architecture of that era.

The palace was commissioned in 1868 by railroad industrialist Victor Ofenheim and designed by architects August Schwendenwein and Johann Romano. The building originally served as both a residence and a rental property for other tenants.

The building's name comes from Victor Ofenheim, Ritter von Ponteuxin, the railway industrialist who commissioned it in 1868; the architects were August Schwendenwein and Johann Romano. Today it belongs to Zürich Versicherung Österreich, which uses it as an office building, so the palace is seen mainly from Schwarzenbergplatz 15 rather than entered.

The palace stands at Schwarzenbergplatz 15 in the 1st district, on the Ringstrasse side of the square. It is a protected monument and serves as offices for Zürich Versicherung Österreich, so the interior is not open to the public; the Ringstrasse facade can be viewed from the street.
