Visitor Info:

The artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser was very busy in many areas. In architecture he was considered as a rebel. His vision was the free architecture for all, without standards, specifications and straight lines. Everyone should have the opportunity to create a small paradise on earth. He has realized this vision through his contribution in the design of various buildings. One of his first and most important projects was the apartment house, which was built on the behalf of the City of Vienna on the corner of Löwengasse and Kegelgasse. If you are a fan of exceptional architecture and if you like buildings in the style of Antoni Gaudi, you should not miss this highlight in Vienna with the German name Hundertwasserhaus.

How to get there?

Unfortunately, the Hundertwasser House is not located close to a metro station. To reach the nearest metro station Landstraße Wien Mitte you have to walk about 900 m. If you prefer to avoid this walk, you should ride with the metro U1 or U4 to the station Schwedenplatz. Change there to the tram line 1 towards Prater Hauptallee. The tram line 1 stops approx. 100 m in front of the Hundertwasser House at the station Hetzgasse. From there you just have to go approx. 100 m into driving direction along the Löwengasse to the corner Kegelgasse and then you have arrived.

What is there for sightseeing?

The Hundertwasser House in Vienna is an unique apartment house and one of the first buildings where Hundertwasser was involved in the design. The building is located at the address Kegelgasse 34-38, 1030 Wien and can be seen only from the outside. In this area the alley Kegelgasse is a small pedestrian zone with benches and a fountain. I think this place is great to admire the building from nearby and to take some pictures. If you would like to see a different view of the Hundertwasser House, I can suggest the opposite street side of the Löwengasse. From there, you will have a good view at the second building front.
