history

In 1780 Franz Freiherr von Prandau had a baroque palace built by Adalbertus Hild . In 1799, the architect Franz Wipplinger expanded the building by two side wings, creating a courtyard and a street wing. The palace was acquired by the Sachsen-Coburg-Koháry family and served as a residence until the death of Maria Antonie Gabriele von Koháry in 1862. In 1864 the street wing was extended by a second floor and stables were built. Archduke Carl Ludwig bought the palace in 1865 and had it redesigned from 1872–73 by Heinrich Ferstl under the supervision of Eduard Frauenfeld . The street wing of the palace was destroyed during the Second World War and demolished after the end of the war and replaced by a modern building.
