Guardhouse – Demolished, Yet Standing

Built 1901–1903 to Hauszmann’s plans for the palace guard, the building was reconstructed under the Hauszmann Program; today it hosts a restaurant and exhibition space.

Trivia

Damaged in WWII, it was nonetheless demolished in 1971 instead of being restored.

Tip

Right beside it is the beautifully renewed Stöckl Stairway.
