Description

Essentials about the Hundertwasserhaus in brief

Built in the mid-1980s, the Hundertwasserhaus is one of the most architecturally unusual buildings in Vienna and unmistakably bears the signature of renowned artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The playful exterior facade of the house, decorated with many bright colors, is a motif for thousands of photographers every day. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasserhaus, which incidentally is a municipal housing complex of the City of Vienna, a green oasis in the middle of the big city.

The Hundertwasser Village

The Hundertwasserhaus can only be visited from the outside. However, directly opposite the house is the Hundertwasser Village, which can be visited. It was created in the early 1990s from a tire workshop. The artist designed his only shopping center with a “village square,” a bar and numerous stores in typical Hundertwasser style.
