The enchanting Liechtenstein Palace is in the first district of Vienna. It is owned by the princely Liechtenstein family, like the Garden Palace in the ninth district. The palace is located on Bankgasse in a gorgeous location in downtown Vienna near the Ringstrasse, next to the Burgtheater and Volksgarten.
The top two floors of the City Palace have phenomenal Baroque grand staircases. In the staterooms, you won't believe the immaculate Baroque stucco ceilings with the opulent neo-Rococo interior, original furnishings, beautiful silk hangings, and the refined parquet floors designed by Michael Thonet. All of these precious elements come together to form a harmonious package. You can also take the opportunity to view selected artworks of the Biedermeier and Classicism periods from the private collection of Prince von und zu Liechtenstein.
Construction of the Liechtenstein City Palace began in 1691 on the instruction of Dominik Andreas Graf Kaunitz. In 1694, Prince Johann Adam Andreas I of Liechtenstein had the construction completed by Domenico Martinelli, who created the first monumental Baroque portal in Vienna. Prince Alois II von Liechtenstein had the palace remodeled between 1836 and 1847 in the style of the "Second Rococo". The building was famous in the 19th century for its technical improvements, including an elevator over four floors, an intercom with correspondence tubes made from rubber and silk, and heating with outlet vents integrated into the wall paneling. During WWII, the building received extensive damage from bombings as well as an aircraft that crashed into the roof.
