| Palais Erdödy, also called the Palais Esterházy, was a palace in Vienna, Austria. It was commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II in 1802 to be designed and built by Karl von Moreau.
The palace was three stories high and built in the Empire style. The entrance was an enormous archway with a coffered ceiling. From there, a staircase decorated with Corinthian columns led to an elegant ballroom with mirrored double-doors, walls clad in white, artificial marble, gilded capitals, frescoes, and a richly decorated parquet. It was considered one of the best examples of 19th-century architecture. |
