Places to visit in Vienna. Languages: en

Siegelgasse is a street in Vienna, Austria. It is located in the Landstrasse district and is known for its well-preserved historical buildings and charming atmosphere. Many buildings on the street date back to the 18th and 19th centuries when the Landstrasse was rapidly changing. There are excellent examples of Baroque architecture. One of the outstanding examples of this architectural gem is the Rosumovsky palace. Russian Prince Andrei Kirillovich Razumovsky built the palace as an embassy of Tsar Alexander I. It was built at the expense of the prince in the neoclassical style, according to the drawings of Louis Montoieux. Prince Razumovsky filled it with antiques and modern works of art. On the eve of the New Year 1814, the prince held a brilliant ball in the presence of Tsar Alexander I. Probably the only person in Vienna who was invited but did not go there was Ludwig van Beethoven. After 1810, increasingly less socially involved, Beethoven avoided balls and entertainment. He gave himself to work alone. During this period, he composed many of his most admired works, including symphonies, chamber music and piano sonatas.
