Main building of the University of Vienna
Location number: 1010075
The Main Building of the University of Vienna was opened in 1884 in the Neo-Renaissance style. Situated directly on Vienna’s prestigious Ringstrasse in the city centre, the site is one of the city’s architectural highlights: here, academic tradition meets the vibrant university life. The variety of motifs stems, on the one hand, from the diverse architectural styles and, on the other, from the different ways the space is used, such as for research, teaching and student life. The main building combines classic university settings (lecture halls, seminar rooms, libraries), stately rooms (the ballroom area, the Arcaded Courtyard, stairwells) and modern architecture (the Audimax lecture hall, study areas). The location is therefore ideal as a setting for film productions across a wide range of genres. Please note that filming is only permitted outside university operating hours.
