Palais Schey von Koromla, 19th-century palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
Palais Schey von Koromla is a five-storey brick building with light traditional stucco at the corner of Goethegasse 3 and Opernring 10, built by Johann Julius Romano and August Schwendenwein. Its main front faces the former imperial Kaisergarten; the tall columns of the stone portal on Goethegasse carry a second-floor balcony, the Beletage. The main facade has eleven window axes, the Ringstrasse front nine, and the other two sides adjoin neighbouring buildings.
The palace was constructed from 1863 to 1864 by architects Romano von Ringe and August Schwendenwein for banker Friedrich Schey von Koromla. It emerged during Vienna's major Ringstrasse development period, when the city underwent extensive urban transformation.
The building's name recalls Friedrich Freiherr Schey von Koromla (1815–1881), the banker who commissioned it; sources also record the erroneous form Palais Schey-Koromla. In the 1980s the television series Ringstraßenpalais was partly filmed in and around the palace, so the house itself appears on screen.
The palace stands at the corner of Goethegasse 3 and Opernring 10 in the first district. The main front faces the former imperial garden by the Hofburg, while the Ringstrasse side has ground-floor shops. The stone portal on Goethegasse carries a balcony at Beletage level; the other two sides adjoin neighbouring buildings.
The main front faces the former Kaisergarten, the imperial court's private garden until 1918, now part of the Hofburg ensemble. The Goethe monument unveiled at the corner in 1900 stands between the palace and today's Burggarten. In the 1980s the television series Ringstraßenpalais was partly filmed in and around the building.
