Dogenhof, Praterstraße, Protected residential building in Praterstraße, Leopoldstadt, Austria.
Description
Dogenhof is a protected residential building on Praterstraße featuring elaborate facade details. The second and third floors display pointed arches, while a relief above the entrance portal shows a Doge and the Lion of St. Mark.
History
The building was constructed between 1896 and 1898 under architect Carl Caufal's direction. Its inspiration came from Venice's Ca' d'Oro palace, reflecting the cosmopolitan tastes of the late 1800s.
Culture
The building displays Venetian Gothic elements on its facade that stand out clearly from other Viennese structures. This blend of southern European style marks the streetscape in a distinctive way.
Practical
The building sits on Praterstraße with a mix of residential apartments and commercial spaces. Its location offers easy access to public transport and the neighborhood's shops and services.
Did you know?
The facade draws from a rare Venetian model rather than from Vienna's local building tradition. This deliberate choice of a foreign inspiration makes the structure an architectural rarity of its era.
