About Landstraße
What are the main landmarks in Landstraße?
Landstraße carries some of Vienna's best-known sights. The Belvedere spreads its baroque palaces and gardens across the district's upper slope, its galleries hung with Austrian painting. Down the hill stands the Hundertwasserhaus.
The Heeresgeschichtliches Museum fills the old Arsenal with the story of Austria's armies, while the Gardekirche, the Arnold Schönberg Center, and the Bezirksmuseum Landstraße mark the streets between.
What is the history of Landstraße?
Landstraße carries a deep past. Settlement here reaches back about eight centuries, and in 1192 the English king Richard the Lionheart was seized in the Erdberg neighbourhood on his way home from the Third Crusade. The district took its modern shape in the nineteenth century.
The Erdberger Pfarrkirche and the Bezirksmuseum Landstraße keep that long memory, and the palaces of the Belvedere mark the age when the court built beyond the walls.
Where is Landstraße?
Landstraße lies just beyond the centre of Vienna, running from the Belvedere down through the old ground of Erdberg.
