Hundertwasser Building "Wohnen unterm Regenturm"

The distinctive residential and commercial building at the lower end of the pedestrian precinct was built between 1992 and 1994. The facade of the inner courtyard was created by the renowned Viennese artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The iconic "Regenturm" (Rain Tower) dominating the building is 33 metres tall and crowned with four gold-plated spheres. Colourful ceramic lines symbolize rainwater running down the walls, ceramic columns in bright colours support the balconies, trees grow from alcoves. The infinite variety of fanciful shapes and vibrant colours are the famous artist ́s signature.
