Palais Sina, Renaissance Revival palace in Vienna, Austria.

The palace featured eleven window axes facing Hoher Markt, with a main portal flanked by four double columns supporting a central balcony.

Simon Georg Sina, a Greek merchant trading tobacco and cotton between Europe and the Ottoman Empire, acquired the original palace building in 1810.

The palace became a center for social gatherings after its ownership passed to Count Wimpffen through marriage to one of Georg Simon Sina's daughters.

The structure stood until April 1945, when wartime bombings caused its complete destruction, leading to the construction of a residential building.

The entrance hall contained frescoes by Karl Rahl and Eduard Bitterlich, while the facade displayed four caryatids supporting three round balconies.
