Palais Bourgoing-Rothschild, City palace in Landstraße, Vienna, Austria

Palais Bourgoing-Rothschild stands at Metternichgasse 8 in Vienna's Landstraße district, built 1891–1893 to designs by Amand Louis Bauqué and Albert Pio for Baron Othon de Bourgoing. The same architects had already built his Palais Bourgoing at Metternichgasse 12 in 1890. The building is also called Palais Springer, after the family that owned it before the Rothschilds.

Built from 1891 to 1893 by architects Amand Louis Bauqué and Albert Pio for Baron Othon de Bourgoing, who had already commissioned his Palais Bourgoing at Metternichgasse 12 from the same pair in 1890. The building later passed to the Rothschild family and is also called Palais Springer, after the Springer family who owned it before them. From 2024 the Complexity Science Hub Vienna planned to move in from Palais Strozzi.

The building is also called Palais Springer, after the Springer family that owned it before the Rothschilds. From 1891 to 1893 it was built for Baron Othon de Bourgoing, who had already commissioned his Palais Bourgoing at Metternichgasse 12 from the same architects, Bauqué and Pio, in 1890. Until at least June 2024 it housed a branch of Vienna's University of Music and Performing Arts.

The palace stands at Metternichgasse 8 in the 3rd district, not on Heugasse. Since the music university branch moved out by June 2024, the building is being converted for the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, which plans to move in from Palais Strozzi with over 70 researchers before winter 2024. It is a heritage-protected building, so visits are limited to viewing the exterior from the street.
