Palais Rottal, Baroque palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
The Palais Rottal stands as a protected historical monument featuring elaborate baroque facades with ornate window decorations and richly carved portals along Singerstraße.
Originally constructed in the late 17th century by Giovanni Pietro Tencala for the Counts of Rottal, the palace underwent major reconstruction in 1750 under architect Franz Anton Pilgram.
The building represents Vienna's baroque architectural heritage and houses important Austrian government institutions including the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Austrian Ombudsman Board.
Located at Singerstraße 17-19 in Vienna's first district, the palace currently serves as administrative offices and can be admired from the street for its renovated facade.
The palace incorporates sculptures from Prince Eugene's former Winter Palace that were relocated to the roofline during 19th-century renovations, creating an unusual architectural fusion.
