Palais Palm
The Palais Palm in Vienna , better known at the time as Prince Palm'sches Haus , was a representative baroque palace that was demolished around 1857 when the bastions were razed. It was the Vienna residence of Prince Palm .
history
Little is known about the house. It is said that the respected plasterer Hieronymus Moosbrugger (1808–1858) from Vorarlberg worked on the building.
During the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15, Duchess Wilhelmine von Sagan held a political salon that was well known around the world in the right wing of the Palais Palm. At the same time her rival, the Russian Princess Katharina Bagration , resided in the left part of the building and carried out her diplomatic activities. Both women once had a relationship with Prince Clemens von Metternich .
The Palais Palm was demolished around 1857 when the bastions were razed. In its place, a stately tenement house in the style of the New Viennese Renaissance with a polygonal floor plan was built by Prince Liechtenstein's construction office in 1876 .
location
The Palais Palm was part of the former palace ensemble, which is now bordered by Bankgasse, Schenkenstrasse and Löwelstrasse. The Strattmann City Palace and the Concordia House (former Althann 's Freihaus) with the address Bankgasse 6 still stand from this ensemble. The tenement house built in 1876 by Prince Liechtenstein 's construction office instead of Palais Palm is today the part of the Burgtheater that closes off from the Burgtheater House ensembles mentioned with the address Schenkenstrasse 7 and Löwelstrasse 12. Nothing today reminds of the Baroque palace of the Princes of Palm.
Appearance
A preserved engraving by Salomon Kleiner (1700–1761) shows the Palais Palm as a nine-axis baroque building with two side projections and a single-axis, widened central projection. The façade is structured by stone blocks, the basement is banded. All windows on the upper two floors have parapet fields and those on the first floor have round and gable roofs. A richly designed heraldic cartouche with figural decoration is emblazoned above the central window above the portal . A swinging baluster balcony above the portal rests on two double consoles and is flanked by two figural pedestal attachments.
