-THE PALAIS COBURG WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1840-1845 ON
THE BRAUN BASTION A SECTION OF VIENNAS
FORTIFICATIONS DATING BACK TO THE 16TH CENTURY.
CONSEQUENTLY A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF THE OLD
BULWARK WAS PRESERVED IN PARTICULAR THE ANCIENT
CASEMATES. THE ARCHITECT KARL SCHLEPS WAS
COMMISSIONED BY PRINCE FERDINAND VON SACHSEN-COBURG
GOTHA TO DESIGN THE PALAIS. ONE NOTABLE FEATURE
OF THE LATE CLASSICIST ARCHITECTURE ARE THE FREE-
STANDING COLUMNS IN THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE
FACADE WHICH QUICKLY GAVE THE PALAIS THE NICKNAME
ASPARAGUS CASTLE AMONG THE LOCALS. THE PALAIS
REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE FAMILY UNTIL 1978
WITH SOME MEMBERS CONTINUING TO RESIDE THERE UNTIL
1994. AFTER CHANGING HANDS SEVERAL TIMES THE PALAIS
COBURG WAS BOUGHT BY THE POK PUHRINGER PRIVATE
FOUNDATION IN 1997 AND RENOVATED IN CLOSE
COOPERATION WITH THE PROJECTS HISTORIC ARCHITECT
DR. KLAUS-PETER HOGEL AND THE VIENNA HISTORICAL
MONUMENTS DEPARTMENT.
