The Altes Rathaus (Old Council House) in Vienna is a historic building located at Wipplingerstraße 8, in the 1st District. Let’s explore its intriguing history:
Origins: The Altes Rathaus was donated by Frederick the Fair to the city council in 1316 and has been owned by the city ever since.
Architectural Style: After several rebuildings, its exterior now reflects the style of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, while the official rooms maintain a Baroque ambiance with some Gothic elements still visible.
Andromeda Fountain: The courtyard houses the 1741 Andromeda Fountain, designed by Georg Raphael Donner.
Sankt Salvator Church: Behind the courtyard stands the 14th-century Gothic Sankt Salvator church.
The Votivkirche (Votive Church) in Vienna is a neo-Gothic building located on the Ringstraße. This majestic church has a fascinating history:
Origins: The Votivkirche originates from a failed assassination attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph by the Hungarian nationalist János Libényi on February 18, 1853.
The Hofburg is the former main imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty in Austria. Located in the center of Vienna, it was built in the thirteenth century and later expanded. The Hofburg also served as the imperial winter residence, while Schönbrunn Palace served as the summer residence.

This majestic complex of buildings was the nucleus of the Habsburg court in Vienna. Not only a residence, but also the epicenter of imperial power, administration, and culture.
