Palais Rothschild (Metternichgasse)

[1] The palace was built between 1891 and 1893 for Baron Othon de Bourgoing based on designs by the French architects, Amand Louis Bauqué [de], and a graphic designer, Albert Emilio Pio, who had previously worked together updating the interiors of Łańcut Castle.

[3][4] From December 1940, the palace was rented to the Army base administration and two private parties.

In August 1941, the Dorotheum valuation master, and architect, Ottokar Weigel valued the interior furnishings of the palace at 347,000 Reichsmark.
