A fine example of the classical High Viennese Baroque is the Kinski Palace, located within the old town and built in the early 18th century by the eminent Viennese architect Lucas von Hildebrand. At the same time, two centuries earlier there was a county residence of the Counts of Down, for which this palace was built. However, over the centuries, the palace has repeatedly changed owners. In 1784 it was finally inherited by Countess Rosie Kinski, after whom it is still named. This is due to the fact that it was with her that the palace received its current appearance and interior design.→
