Hundertwasserhaus
About
The Hundertwasserhaus is a striking example of expressionist architecture that greets visitors with a riot of colour, irregular shapes, and a roof greened with earth and trees. Located at the corner of Kegelgasse and Löwengasse in Vienna’s Landstraße district, the building‑turned‑museum invites the public to wander through its whimsical gardens and admire its undulating floors, brightly tessellated facades, and signature “Märchenhaus” towers. Although the apartments themselves are private residences, the exterior and the surrounding terraces are open to all, making the Hundertwasserhaus a popular free‑entry landmark that showcases how art, nature and urban life can coexist. Inside, the museum at the Kunsthaus Wien offers a curated selection of Hundertwasser’s sketches, paintings, and architectural plans, giving visitors deeper insight into the artist’s philosophy of harmony and individuality. The site is also home to several public events, workshops, and guided tours that allow visitors to explore the building’s creative story up close. Whether you’re a casual tourist, an architecture enthusiast, or a family looking for a fun cultural outing, the Hundertwasserhaus offers a vibrant experience that celebrates colour, imagination, and sustainable design—all accessible without an entrance fee.
