The house
The wonderful top floor apartment is located in a gem from the Wilhelminian period, a palace built by Ignaz Drapla in 1874-1875. The building was later equipped with a new facade in 1913-1914, in 1915-1916 another reconstruction of the ground floor was carried out by Oskar Strnad. The style of the facade is neo-baroque, the old building is in very good condition. Upon entering the building, a representative entrance awaits you with terrazzo flooring, stone steps and wrought iron railings with wooden handrails. The staircase is decorated with stucco decorations on the ceiling and walls. The entrance is crowned by a sculpture owned by the seller. In the years 1992 to 1994 the attic was converted. From the five balconies you have a stunning view. Directly opposite you can see the Liechtenstein Park and the Liechtenstein Garden Palace, to the left you can see the Leopoldsberg, straight ahead to the Danube Tower and on the right to St. Stephen's Cathedral.
