Austrian Chancellery in Vienna, Government office in Innere Stadt, Austria.

The Austrian Chancellery stands at Ballhausplatz 2, featuring a baroque design with symmetrical wings and ornate architectural details crafted in 1719.

The building gained European significance during the Congress of Vienna from 1814 to 1815, where representatives from 200 states gathered after Napoleon's defeat.

The Congress Hall within the Federal Chancellery contains decorated walls and ceilings that represent the architectural preferences of 18th-century Austrian government structures.

The Federal Chancellor and select government officials maintain their primary offices in this building, which serves as the center of Austrian federal administration.

During the Congress of Vienna, the building hosted numerous diplomatic negotiations while maintaining a social calendar that earned the phrase 'the Congress dances'.
