Life
Very little is known about the life of Carl Caufal. So you don't know anything about his training or when he came to Vienna. In any case, he realized some buildings in Vienna around the turn of the century and was also active in the real estate business. Because abortive house speculation he was due to culpable 1903 Krida sentenced strict arrest to three weeks. From the beginning of the First World War , no more buildings are known of him.
Caufal was married and had a son.

The most famous and at the same time first known building by Caufal is the Dogenhof , which was designed in the Venetian Gothic style (the Venice amusement park in Vienna was located in the Prater nearby ). His late historical buildings show a lush neo-baroque decor. Around 1910 its facades became simpler and took on secessionist design elements.
Caufal was unjustifiably judged negatively by restorers and journalists in connection with the restoration of the Doge's court in 2005. In fact, he was a versatile architect who was at the height of his time.
