Geymüllerschlössel

Its architectural style features the blend of Gothic, Indian and Arab elements typical especially of pleasure palaces at the time.

Isidor Mautner, a textile industrialist, bought the palace in 1888 and mortgaged it to the Austrian National bank in the late 1920s.

It was returned to the Austrian National bank after World War II had ended and was later bought by the Republic of Austria in 1948.

In the following years, the villa's renovation was overseen by Franz Sobek, who had provided the funds for the purchase of the palace.

Over the past years, the Geymüllerschlössel hosted a number of exhibitions focusing on contemporary design interventions and comparisons, including Time & Again by designer Michael Antassiades, The Stranger Within by Studio Formafantasma, Robert Stadler's Back in 5 min and Biedermeier reanimated by Clegg & Guttman.
