Kinsky Palace
|
Palais Kinsky is a baroque palace in Vienna. It was
originally built for Wirich Philipp Graf Daun and later bought by the Kinsky
family, is therefore sometimes known as Palais Daun-Kinsky.
It was commissioned by Count Daun and construction started in 1717 under the
architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Shortly afterwards it was sold in
1784 to the Kinsky family. The palace is famous for its beautiful
yellow-white façade, and the richly-decorated staircase with frescoed
ceilings, mirrors and statues.
The palace underwent renovation in the late 1990’s and was restored to its
former state. The rooms have baroque frescoed ceilings and expensive parquet
floors. The palace is used for auction events, houses shops and a restaurant.
It is used for the final-status negotiations between Serbian and Kosovo
Albanians in EU-sponsored peace-talks.
