History+

The origins of Palais Lengheimb possibly trace back to a predecessor building from 1512. In 1689, the property was parceled, with Count Bernhard von Rindsmaul, a regimental councilor, receiving a tax-exempt area. He commissioned master builder Joachim Carlone to construct the current palace. Between 1719 and 1803, the estate was owned by the Lengheimb family, during which a fire in 1719 caused considerable damage. From 1804 to 1813, it belonged to Baron Anton von Königsbrunn before passing into bourgeois ownership. From 1865, it housed a music institute with the Buwasaal. After the city wall was demolished, the palace was extended, while the facade retained its original appearance. In 1909, the Workers' Accident Insurance Institution became the owner.
