The Palais Sturany is a Ringstrasse palace in Vienna's 1st district, Innere Stadt at Schottenring 21. It was built from 1874 as a residential building for the court architect Johann Sturany according to the plans of the architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer .

The palace has four storeys and has the top floor, in contrast to almost all other Ringstrasse as second as a special Beletage is highlighted. The facade in neo-baroque style is made of exposed stone and not plastered, which otherwise only occurred in public buildings on the Ringstrasse. The curved portal bay window, which is supported by two atlases and extends over two floors, is striking .

Significant artists of this era contributed to the interior design, such as the painters Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch and the plasterer Reinhard Völkl . The facade goes back to Franz Schönthaler .

From 1916 the palace was the headquarters of the International Commercial Bank and adaptation work was carried out under the architect Otto Prutscher . After the Second World War , the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Vienna took over the building and was again adapted. The building was renovated in 2000 and offered for sale in 2011 at a price of 8.5 million euros. The building is now owned by the Saudi Royal Foundation. The official name is King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID).
