Palais Salm (Salmgasse)
The Palais Salm (also: Palais Salm-Reifferscheid ) is a city palace at Salmgasse 2 in Vienna's 3rd district, Landstrasse . It was built between 1828 and 1832 according to plans by the architect Alois Ignaz Göll for Leonhart Waller and Wenzel Emanuel Brandler von Brandenstein .
history
In the 18th century, the land on which the Palais Salm stands today was an archbishop's student residence owned by Cardinal Christoph Anton von Migazzi from Vienna . In 1812 Louis de Montoyer built a stable building on this site that belonged to the Rasumofsky Palace . In 1828 it was demolished again and today's palace was built. It was built by the architect Alois Ignaz Göll on behalf of the builders Leonhard Waller and Wenzel Emanuel Brandler von Brandstein. As part of an extension, a pavilion was built in the direction of Rasumofskygasse in 1851 .
In 1856 Hugo Karl Eduard Salm-Reifferscheidt bought the palace from Archduke Carl . Prince Salm had it expanded and the interior rebuilt in 1863. The palace was owned by the Salm-Reifferscheidts until 1902. The next owner was the publisher Max Herzig , who had a glazed winter garden added to the pavilion. He also carried out some modernizations in the building. From 1923 the palace was owned by the industrialist Rudolf Thorn and in 1929 came into the possession of Isidor Kreisberg (* 1877, Boryslaw ; † 1945, Bergen-Belsen ), an owner of coal mines in Galicia . He had the interior of the palace divided into apartments. In 1938 he was expropriated. The palace survived the Second World War without damage and came back into private ownership. Today it is half owned by the financial investor Michael Treichl and half by the Marschalek architecture firm .
architecture
This city palace was built as a garden palace in the classical style. In Salmgasse direction, a small extends Biedermeier - courtyard , which is enclosed by eingeschoßigen buildings. The three-storey front of the palace is well worth seeing and faces the garden. This was originally a lot larger. The garden facade is more splendid. It is dominated by a three-axis central projecting slightly protruding, with an open portico in front of it. The four Corinthian columns of the hall support a balcony on the second floor, which is closed off by a stone balustrade. On the wall there are four giant pilasters that resemble the four pillars. These connect the three-door portal system with the first floor. With the exception of the main entrance, windows and doors on the ground floor are arched and accentuated by radiating ashlar plaster . There is a triangular gable above the slightly protruding eaves. Two flying geniuses holding a clock are depicted in the pediment . Most of the interiors have been adapted today, but some of the ceiling paintings have been preserved, although they are currently covered. The stairwell is heavily paneled with wood.
The palace is not open to the public.
