Palais Felix, Historical residence in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria.
Palais Felix is a three-story residence at Strudlhofgasse 19 with Classical architectural details including Caryatids that support the projecting entrance pediment. The front facade displays thirteen windows and demonstrates the careful design typical of its era.
Austrian painter Eugen Felix commissioned architect Karl Stattler in 1870 to build this residence and art studio near the Strudlhofstiege staircase. The building emerged from the creative and architectural development taking place in the Alsergrund district during that period.
The building housed several painters and artists who lived and worked within its spaces over the decades. Their presence made it an important gathering point for the creative community in the neighborhood.
The building is centrally located on Strudlhofgasse near the well-known Strudlhofstiege staircase, which is easily accessible on foot. The area is well-served by public transportation and surrounded by shops and cafes for visitors.
The building's entrance portal appeared in the 1973 film Scorpio starring Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster. This cinematic moment connected the structure to Vienna's film history.
