Palais Corbelli-Schoeller

The Palais Corbelli-Schoeller is located in Vienna's 1st district, Inner City , at Johannesgasse 7.

history

The Palais Corbelli-Schoeller was probably built between 1695 and 1709 at the latest and is attributed to Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt . The checkered history of the Palais began with a medieval predecessor building, which in 1695 came into the possession of Johann Andreas Graf Corbelli and his wife, a born Countess Thurn-Valsassina. Around 1709, after the death of the count, she sold the palace to Don Fernando Carl Count Caraffa de Stigliano. In 1723 it came into the possession of Countess Maria Anna Isabella von Haussenstamm zu Heissenstein and after further changes of ownership in 1845 to Daniel Freiherr von Eskeles and in 1869 to August Zang . After 1890 the palace came into the possession of Sir Paul Eduard von Schoeller . The architects Rudolf Tölk and Egon von Leutzendorf added an annex to the palace between 1909 and 1912, which was destroyed in 1945. Since Paul Eduard himself remained childless, he bequeathed the palace to his nephew and adoptive son Gustav Neufeldt-Schoeller, whose descendants still own the property today. Since 1982 the palace has been the seat of the Institute for European Studies (IES, directorate: Morten Solvik ).

description

The nine-axis street front is structured by a flat five-axis central projection. The risalit is finished with a parapet balustrade. The grooved base zone is finished with pilasters on both the central projection and the facade edges. The upper zone is framed by giant pilasters. The windows on the basement floor have a straight console roof. Basement windows with beautiful wrought iron grilles are embedded in the parapet fields under the sill cornices supported by consoles. The windows on the piano nobile are provided with straight and in the central project with segmental arch-shaped bracket roofing. The parapet fields are emphasized by layered plaster frames. The simple windows on the top floor have simple plaster frames. The large basket arch portal with a renewed, neo-baroque gate sets a strong accent in the facade. This is reinforced by the side pillars that support a vaulted balcony with a balustrade. Inside, a two-flight neo-baroque staircase leads to the first floor. The entrance hall, the master room and the former ballroom are characterized by their late classicist and strictly historical furnishings.
