The Twelve Apostel Cellar is a historic town tavern in the vaulted cellar of Sonnenfelsgasse 3 (also called "Hildebrandt House" or "Elloisches House") in Vienna's 1st district, Inner City . The building and the cellar are under monument protection ( list entry ).

The lower basement was built around the year 1100. The masonry consists of Romanesque stone blocks, which at that time were mainly used for elegant buildings. Some time later the only remaining Gothic well room was built into it. It is figuratively decorated.

The house was first mentioned in 1339 as owned by "Diemuth, the widow of Chunrath, the old Hansgrafens". The higher-lying Gothic vaulted cellar was built before 1500. The house was destroyed in the 16th century and rebuilt in 1561. In the course of the rebuilding, the lower cellar received the early baroque vaults. This year was found on the foundation stone in the lower cellar. In 1721 the house was given the baroque facade that is still preserved today.

Today the Stadtheurige is run by Vindobona Betriebsführung Ges.mbH and mainly offers Viennese cuisine .
