Villa Eugen, Baden, Protected monument in Baden, Austria
Villa Eugen stands at Weilburgstrasse 103-105 as a two-story building with steep roofs, towers, and ornate decorations on its bright brick facade. The layout includes spacious stabling areas with wooden ceilings on the ground floor, while the upper level once held staff apartments and living spaces.
The house was built between 1883 and 1886 by architect Franz von Neumann for Archduke Wilhelm. After Wilhelm's death, the estate passed in 1894 to his nephew Archduke Eugen, whose name the building carries to this day.
The house shows the architectural taste of Austrian nobility with neo-baroque features and wrought iron gates decorated with the letter W. Such personal details were typical when wealthy families marked their homes with family symbols.
It is best visited during the day when light highlights the facade details and decorative elements. The surroundings are walkable and offer different viewpoints to see the building from outside.
The main entrance is topped with an elaborately crafted wrought iron gate decorated with the letter W that encloses the entire property. This gate was a signature of the original owners and displays handcrafted quality rarely seen today.
