Palais Rothschild (Prinz-Eugen-Straße)
 |
The Palais Rothschild (at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 26) is a former palatial residence in Vienna, Austria[1]. It was one of five Palais Rothschild in the city that were owned by members of the Rothschild banking family of Austria[1].
History
[edit]It was the second Palais Rothschild commissioned by Baron Albert von Rothschild, on the same street as his larger Palais Albert Rothschild at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20-22 (demolished in 1954)[1].
It was designed and built in 1894 by the theatre architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer[1]. The building is four storeys high and was designed in a neobaroque style[1].
Like all Jewish property at the time, it was thoroughly plundered by the Nazis during their occupation of Austria[1]. However, the building survived without structural damage and today serves as the Brazilian embassy in Vienna[1].
