The Fürstenberg Palace, with its rich high baroque façade and late historicist interior, was built between 1702 and 1707 by Antonio Beduzzi in the style of Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. The building is also known as the “Austrian Book Trade House” or “Fürstenberg Palace.” The latter name stems from the fact that it was the Viennese residence of the Prince Archbishop of Olomouc, Landgrave of Fürstenberg, from 1882 to 1892. It was acquired by the book trade associations in 1927 and they moved in in 1933. The current interior was designed by the Prince Archbishop of Fürstenberg. The rooms on the first floor are particularly worth seeing. The arbitration courtroom is decorated in a Renaissance style, dark and contemplative. The adjoining Rosa Salon, in Rococo style, light and friendly, with excellent acoustics, was once the music room. The library, with oak bookcases and a gallery, has a genuine Baroque stucco ceiling and a Venetian chandelier. This magnificent, art-historically valuable house is a listed building. With its particularly beautiful façade, charmingly decorated entrance hall, sculptural decorations in the stairwell, and interior rooms, it is one of the most beautiful and significant secular buildings of the Baroque period in Vienna.
