history
In 1698, Carl Freiherr von Häckelberg had Christian Alexander Oedtl build a palace at 12 Dorotheergasse. In order to enlarge the building site, the rear wing of the house at Bräunerstraße 7 was also demolished and included in the new building. In 1710 the palace came into the possession of the Counts Gatterburg . In 1781 the Masonic lodge " To the true harmony " was founded, which was located in the palace until 1985.
description
Two two-axis side projections enclose the five-axis middle section of the high baroque palace. The base is banded with a central arched portal. Tuscan pilasters carry a segmented gable that has been blown up by a bent gable. The keystone is adorned with the coat of arms of Count Gatterburg. The side projections are vertically structured with giant pilasters with Ionic capitals that extend over three floors. The window frames of the main floor and the floor above it have ears. The roofing of the windows on the first floor is curved, while it is straight on the next floor. The facade is further structured through the plastered areas of the parapets . They are not only connected horizontally over the cornice on the floor by additional plastering fields , but they also form a decorative element vertically.
Mention should also be made of the original baroque roof structure with loft extensions and dormers . The bel étage is equipped with a stucco ceiling from around 1700. Four female allegorical figures represent strength, justice, wisdom and temperance.
