Palais Hoyos
The palace was built at the end of the 19th century by Otto Wagner, together with two outbuildings. The building in the middle (in the Street Rennweg No. 3), the later Palais Hoyos, Wagner kept for himself. In the outbuilding in the Street Rennweg No. 5 Gustav Mahler lived from 1898 to 1909.
On the development site were before the former Trinity hospital, afterwards the living quarters of the k.k. Noble-Polish Imperial Guard and in the end the living quarters of the Arcièren Imperial Guard. The palace was built in the style of the Historicism, the facade was held to the Rococo and Jugendstil.
In 1903 the palace was sold to the widowed countess Marie Hoyos. The family Hoyos owned another palace in the Ringstraße, the today's hotel Bristol. In 1957 the palace of Hoyos in Rennweg was sold from the immovable of the family Hoyos to Yugoslavia which furnished it in the Embassy of Yugoslavia in Austria. After the decay of Yugoslavia into several independent states, the building went over in the possession of Croatia as part of the Yugoslav succession.
Currently place is undergoing major $800 000 renovation and Croatian government plans to expand palace so it can house Croatian embassy, as current embassy is insufficient in size and requirements. [1]
