Hundertwasser House Vienna

Hundertwasser House is one of the most architecturally interesting buildings in Vienna. Hundertwasser House, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vienna, is colorful and unlike other plain buildings.

Built between 1983 and 1985, the building took its name from the surname of the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The artist managed to make the building look really unusual, with crooked windows, unusual decorative elements and a colorful exterior.

If you are planning to visit the Hundertwasser House, try to visit when the sun is high in the sky. Since there is not a large area where the building is located and the surrounding area has buildings of the same height, you are likely to get the color of the building as dark when the sun is not falling steeply.
