Zacherlhaus

MonumentLocals' pick

Jože Plečnik's 1903-1905 office block for the Zacherl insecticide family, one of the key works of the Otto Wagner school, a few steps from St. Stephen's but missed by most. Polished grey granite, Franz Metzner's atlantes under the cornice and Ferdinand Andri's Archangel Michael on the corner.

Good to know

  • Stand on Wildpretmarkt to see Andri's St. Michael on the corner.
  • The oval stairwell has a lamp shaped like an insect, a nod to the insect powder that made the Zacherls rich.
  • Combine with the Anker Clock on Hoher Markt, two minutes north.
