Arnstein's garden palace

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arnsteinsche Gartenpalais was a palace in what would later be the 15th district , at that time still the south-western suburbs of Vienna , belonging to Lower Austria . It was located in the area of ​​today's Dadlergasse - Arnsteingasse - Fünfhausgasse - Herklotzgasse. It was named Arnsteinsches Gartenpalais after its later owner, the banker Nathan Adam Freiherr von Arnstein . The further fate of the palace is unclear.

history

Hugo Freiherr von Waldstätten had the palace built in 1770/71 as a summer residence near Schönbrunn Palace in the then undeveloped fields above the Vienna River. It then served as the summer residence for Archduchess Marie Christine , the favorite daughter of Empress Maria Theresa , sister of Emperor Joseph II and the wife of Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen .

After her death in 1798 - according to another statement in 1794 - the palace passed to the Jewish banker Nathan Adam Freiherr von Arnstein , who had it enlarged and embellished. His main residence was the Arnsteinsche Palais on Hohen Markt, built by Frank Wilhelm von Natorp in 1794–96 , where his wife Franziska , known as Fanny, had a famous salon. To distinguish it, the castle was called "Arnsteinsches Gartenpalais" in the suburbs. After the death of Nathan and his wife, the garden palace passed into the possession of their daughter Henriette Freifrau von Pereira-Arnstein and her husband Heinrich Freiherr von Pereira . They kept the castle until the 1860s.

Since the couple had settled in Hietzing, they sold parts of the large property. Her daughter Flora Countess von Fries settled the Order of the Poor School Sisters of Our Lady here in 1860 , who still run the Friesgasse school center today . Today's Henriettenplatz is the last remnant of the former large palace garden. A lithograph with the front view of the castle is available in the Wien Museum .
