Kornhaeuselturm

Joseph Kornhaeusel was one of the most famous Austrian master builders.
This tower was built from 1825 – 1827 and is a nine-​story building. As it was originally surrounded by other rental houses, you had to enter it from the house next to it. A building like that was very unusual in those days. But rental houses in the inner city of Vienna were the rule.
Very interesting piece of Viennese architecture of the 19^th century.
Beside there is one of the famous Austrian historical steps from that period with benches to sit down and enjoy the shade of the old trees around.
