3D Palais Althan 2

PALAIS ALTHAN VIENNA

(Ungargasse, Landstrasse District) – virtual reconstruction.

This palace was built ca. 1729-1732 by architect Josef Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. It was demolished in the 1840s.

In fact, this was the second Althan Palace. Since the early 1690s, another Althan Palace existed, which was built following plans by Josef Emanuel’s father Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, in the Alsergrund District. This very original building was torn down in 1869.

As the second Althan Palace was demolished in the early 19^th century, no photographs of the building exist. Fortunately, twelve excellent engravings after drawings by Salomon Kleiner, on which the 3D model is based, give a good impression of the palace’s original appearance.

3D Paul Decker

Paul Decker (1677-1713) Ontwerp voor een Koninklijk Paleis, gepubliceerd in 'Fürstlicher Baumeister / Architectura Civilis' (1716). Vereenvoudigd 3D model gebaseerd op de gevelopstanden en de plattegrond van Decker. (© Mark Pieters 2021)

Paul Decker (1677-1713) was a German architect and engraver. He made a series of copperplate engravings showing ideal princely and royal architecture. His work was published in three volumes (1711, 1713 and 1716) under the title 'Fürstlicher Baumeister oder Architectura Civilis'. His project for a royal palace was probably still unfinished when he died. The drawings which he had completed were engraved and published posthumously in the last volume. The 3D model is based on these last drawings and is a simplified version of Decker's elaborate project. (© Mark Pieters 2021)

3D KASSEL Palace Project

A virtual reconstruction of Giovanni Francesco Guerniero’s project for a never built new palace in Kassel, Germany. The 3D model only shows about one third (the lower part) of Guerniero’s enormous project of buildings, terraces and cascades, to be built on a mountain slope.

The upper part, also one third of the whole, was actually built and is now a part of Wilhelmshöhe Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Neoclassical Wilhelmshöhe palace stands on the spot where Guerniero’s baroque palace was to be built.
