Kleine Palais Attems

The site of the current palace was originally occupied by a bourgeois courtyard. In 1596, the building, owned by the heirs of Georg Püchler, was recorded in the municipal courtyard register. After several changes of ownership, it came into the possession of the Kalchhammer family at the end of the 17th century and was acquired by Ferdinand Josef von Thinfeld in 1744. In 1757, the property passed to Count Ignaz Maria II von Attems and was subsequently used as a widow's palace. Under the direction of Josef Hueber, alterations to the entrance and staircase were carried out starting in 1757. In 1858, Count Ignaz Maria III von Attems commissioned master builder Carl Ohmeyer to add a third upper floor and a new roof structure, with the facade being adapted to the existing appearance.
