The Hundertwasser House in Vienna is a truly magical and mysterious architectural masterpiece. Its playful design and vibrant colors make it a dream come true for artists and art enthusiasts. The museum showcases original art installations, making it a truly unique experience. However, guests are not allowed to take pictures with any media, including smartphones, and must store their cameras at the counter. Once inside, you'll be captivated by the beauty of the design, market, poetry, and paintings. The outdoor area surrounding the museum is also picturesque, with funky buildings and a lovely fountain. There are tourist shops for souvenirs and a nice café on the corner. It's worth mentioning that the cobblestone floor may not be suitable for wheelchair users or those with prams/buggies. Despite its current state of neglect, the Hundertwasser House remains an interesting and colorful architectural site that is definitely worth a visit. The building itself is inhabited, so there isn't much to do besides admiring the facade and shopping for souvenirs. The vibrant and colorful design of the building is truly amazing and leaves a strong impression. If you're a fan of unique architecture, this is a must-visit destination. The Hundertwasser House offers a refreshing departure from conventional architecture and is a delightful addition to any trip to Vienna. While I only had the chance to admire the exterior, it was a sight that left a lasting impact. Additionally, there's a charming pub nearby where you can watch a free mini documentary about the housing estate, providing further insight into the history and concept behind this extraordinary architectural gem. If you appreciate artistic and unconventional structures, the Hundertwasser House is a must-see attraction in Vienna. Its incredible architecture and design will captivate you with its stunning colors and unique forms. The house stands out among the typical Viennese buildings, and its interesting architecture with a splash of different colors is truly captivating. You don't need a ticket to visit the Hundertwasser House, and you can enjoy a great perspective of the building from the main street.

The exterior façade of the Hundertwasser House in Vienna, decorated with many bright colours, is an almost magical eye-catcher. Those who live in the Hundertwasserhaus also have the right to design the façade around the windows according to their own taste. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasserhaus a green oasis in the middle of the city. The Hundertwasser House can only be visited from the outside.
However, directly opposite the Hundertwasser House is the Hundertwasser Village, which can be visited. It was created in 1990-1991 from a tyre workshop. The artist designed his only shopping centre here with a "village square", a bar and numerous shops in the typical Hundertwasser style.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser started out as a painter. Since the early 1950s, however, he increasingly became focused on architecture, writing and reading in public, advocating natural forms of decay. In 1972, he had his first architectural models mad.. Read more »e for the TV-show ‘Wünsch dir was', in order to demonstrate his ideas on forested roofs, "tree tenants" and the "window right" of every tenant to embellish the facade around his windows. In these models Hundertwasser also developed new architectural shapes, such as the "eye-slit" house and the "high-rise meadow house".[2]
In lectures at academies and before architectural associations, Hundertwasser elucidated his concerns regarding an architecture in harmony with nature and man. Bruno Kreisky, the federal chancellor at the time, suggested in a letter dated November 30, 1977 to Leopold Gratz, the mayor of Vienna, that Hundertwasser be given the opportunity to realize his ideas in the field of architecture by allowing him to build a housing project,[3] whereupon Leopold Gratz, in a letter of December 15, 1977, invited Hundertwasser to create an apartment building according to his own ideas.[3]
To this end, architect Josef Krawina was invited to join the artist and to help him to put his ideas into practice.

A playful Hundertwasser is one of the symbols of Vienna, just as Gaudi symbolizes Barcelona. Friedensreich Hundertwasser was originally not concerned with architecture, but already during the fifties has expressed a desire for better incorporating buildings into the environment. And so it came up with the idea to build a building in unusual shapes with curved lines. With the help of architect Peter Pelikan was built in the city quarter Landstrasse beautiful building that is now called the Hundertwasserhaus. Today Hundertwasser's house is a very popular attraction, although it is somewhat isolated from other Viennese sights. Interesting and beautiful.
