Altes Rathaus

Old Town Hall


Off The Beaten Path Must See

Address: Phone:
Wipplinger Straße 8
Vienna, Wien 1010

Description

The Altes Rathaus or old city Hall dates from the 13th century but was extended and given various facelifts over the centuries. Today it is home to the Museum of the Austrian Resistance Movement, a fascinating collection of documents, personal testimonies and photographs intended as a warning to future generations of the dangers of fascism. Sadly it has very irregular opening times and it's best to ring in advance. Do not miss Georg Raphael Donner's delightful fountain (1741) in the courtyard or the superb Renaissance portico to the Salvatorkapelle in the Salvatorgasse directly behind the building.
