Museum Judenplatz Wien, Jewish history museum in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Museum Judenplatz Wien occupies the Misrachi-Haus, a baroque building with medieval foundations located at Judenplatz 8 in central Vienna.
Following the 1421 Vienna Gesera pogrom, Duke Albrecht V confiscated the property, which remained under non-Jewish ownership until Anna Mandeles acquired it in 1862.
The museum exhibits detail medieval Jewish life in Vienna through archaeological findings, including remnants of a 13th-century synagogue discovered beneath the building.
The facility functions as a branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna, containing permanent exhibitions, a youth center, and an active synagogue for the Misrachi community.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1995 and 1998 revealed substantial sections of medieval walls dating from the 13th and 14th centuries within the structure.
