Triangi Palace
The Palais Triangi was a palace in Vienna's 1st district, Innere Stadt, at today's address Wipplingerstraße 21.
history
The magnificent baroque building in a prominent location adjacent to the Hohe Brücke was built between 1704 and 1707. Due to the level of the terrain hidden in it, it was designed with five floors. After around 80 years of monastic use by the Theatines , it was "privatized" under Emperor Joseph II due to the dissolution of the order in 1782. The monastery palace was put up for auction and acquired by Philipp Großmann, a commoner. 21 years later it came to temporary refeudalization. Count Anton Triangi bought the palace - a nobleman of Italian origin who had distinguished himself in the Habsburg army. The family palace remained in the possession of his descendants until 1876. It then became the property of the Baechle family, who demolished it in 1899 and had a large, still-existing apartment building built in its place in the Wilhelminian style. The fate of the palace can be seen as an example of the social, economic and the resulting urban changes in Vienna in the 18th and 19th centuries.
