Palace of Justice

The Palace of Justice was projected by Alexander Wielemans von Monteforte and built from 1875 to 1881 in a neo-renaissance style. The building was set on fire in 1927 after violent demonstrations following the collapse of Creditanstalt, the largest bank in Austria at that time.

  1. What a difference with the buildings from Loos,Wagner or the Secession from Olbrecht in 1897 but still nice to see. In those times nobody had trouble with the rules for disabled people as nowwadays, thats for sure.
