Stadtpalais Liechtenstein

Stadtpalais Liechtenstein, street view

Stadtpalais Liechtenstein (City Palace), is a residential building at Bankgasse 9, in the first district of Vienna, Innere Stadt, and is one of two palaces in Vienna belonging to the princely family of Liechtenstein. The palace was built from 1692 to 1705 by the Italian architect Domenico Martinelli and the Swiss architect Gabriele Gabrieli.[1]

The house escaped destruction during World War II when bombs went down nearby. It is still used as a private residence by the princely family. After restoration in 2013, the palace houses the 19th century section of the princely art collection, whereas 16th–18th-century artworks are shown in the Liechtenstein Garden Palace.
