City Palace Liechtenstein
City Palace Liechtenstein, or Stadtpalais Liechtenstein, is the Liechtenstein family’s Baroque city residence in Vienna—built 1692 to 1705 by the Italian architect Domenico Martinelli and the Swiss architect Gabriele Gabrieli. In the context of aristocratic Vienna, it matters because it is one of two Liechtenstein palaces in the city: alongside the Liechtenstein Garden Palace. The building’s wartime survival is a key chapter in its story. During World War II, bombs fell nearby, yet this palace escaped destruction—a fortunate turn that shaped what could be preserved after the fighting. That preservation continued with restoration in 2013, after which the palace houses the 19th-century part of the princely art collection. Meanwhile, artworks from the 16th to 18th centuries are shown at the Garden Palace, keeping the collection deliberately partitioned across the two seats.
