The Blumenstockgasse located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named after the house Zum Blumenstock in 1862 .
history
The Himmelpfort Monastery of St. Agnes has been located in the area of today's Blumenstockgasse 2 since 1267. This monastery had previously interrupted the straight connection between Ballgasse and Rauhensteingasse; Today's Blumenstockgasse formed part of Ballgasse. After the monastery was demolished in 1783, a straight line connection to Rauhensteingasse was created, which initially remained nameless. In 1862 it was made the starting point of Ballgasse, while the previous beginning of Ballgasse was renamed Blumenstockgasse.
Location and characteristics
The Blumenstockgasse stretches from the Rauhensteingasse in an irregular course and kinks to the southeast to the Ballgasse, the beginning of which it was originally. Like Ballgasse, the short lane forms a contiguous pedestrian zone with it , which is frequented by tourists because of its picturesque location and the uniform, classicistic construction. There are also several restaurants here.

The facade has a grooved base zone with segmented arches, a round arched portal with fighters and a basket arched portal, as well as a corner curbstone. The upper zone is completely smooth, the windows are arranged additively and sometimes suspect. A cornice runs around the facade. Inside is a barrel vaulted hallway. The original railing can still be seen on the spiral two-pillar staircase.
