Palais Kaunitz-Wittgenstein

[4] After Kaunitz' death, the palace was sold in 1722 by his son Maximilian Ulrich Kaunitz-Rietberg to Leopold Schlick, due to financial reasons.

[2] The Palais Kaunitz was, in the aftermath, owned in fast succession by members of the families Schlick, Lobkowicz, Chotek, and subsequently served as a summer residence to the piemont ambassador at the imperial court in Vienna Luigi Canale.

[4] Kaunitz commissioned the frescoes in the stairwell and the banquet hall to the Austrian painter Joseph Pichler, who was also working at the Laxenburg castles[6] After his death, Kaunitz' heirs sold the palace in 1803 to the Austrian foreign minister Franz de Paula Karl von Colloredo, who commissioned new refurbishments, including a bathhouse with paintings.

[7] In 1895,[8] after the death of Nikolaus III the palace was bought by members of the Wittgenstein family, who might have already rented the house in the years prior to their purchase.

After Klara Wittgenstein's death, a nearby order of nuns acquired the building and started to run several educational institutes in the palace, before it was reassigned to serve as a community center.
