Palais Goëss
The Palais Goëss is a city palace on Alten Platz (house number 30) in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee . The late baroque building is a listed building . The office of the Carinthian State Conservator of the Federal Monuments Office and a branch of the Schoellerbank are located in the building .
At the beginning of the 17th century, the Karlsberger and Dobenig houses stood on the site of today's palace. Johann von Goëss , Bishop of Gurk , acquired the castle and palace of Karlsberg near St. Veit an der Glan in 1687 . He also owned one of the houses on Alter Platz. In 1734 Johann Anton von Goëss bought the neighboring house. Both buildings were provided with a common facade until 1738 and were now the Palais Goëss.
The palace is a freestanding building on two sides. The nine-axis main facade with a representative portal in the central axis faces the Alter Platz, the four-axis side facade faces the Landhaushof . Four pilasters on the basement with rustic plaster and small, landscape- format windows form the risalit-like center of the building with the portal. Above the representative arched portal with laterally inclined pilasters, volutes attached to the outside and a strongly cranked, high entablature, there is an arched balcony with wrought iron railing. The coat of arms of the Goëss family is affixed above the balcony door . Reliefs can be seen in the arches of the portal and on the underside of the balcony. The balcony is supported by the console-like keystone of the portal. Two further pilasters form the corners of the building. The windows on the main floor (first floor) have richly profiled, gable-like crowns.
In the passage there are two walled-in, antiquing spolia with an inscription (fragment of a Bible quote) from 1614, above a relief fragment of a warrior. In the inner courtyard is a corridor supported by stone consoles with a wrought iron railing. The representative staircase has a wrought iron railing from around 1735 and a stone balustrade . On the ceiling of the staircase is a painting of a baroque allegory that was heavily alienated during a renovation. On both floors there are representative rooms with inlaid floors , wood paneling, inlaid doors and stucco ceilings .
