Vienna - Noteworthy Buildings around Am Hof

The former Burghers' Armory (No. 10), built in 1530 and enlarged and extensively rebuilt by Anton Ospel in 1731, is a fine example of Baroque architecture in Vienna. Mattielli's allegorical figures of Strength and Stamina balancing an enormous globe provide the crowning glory of this magnificent facade.

The Baroque Urbani House (No. 12) was designed by pupil of Hildebrandt.

The Palais Collalto (No. 13) was built in 1680; the facade towards Am Hof was redesigned in 1715 and 1725, the facade on the Schulhof re-fashioned in a classical style in 1804. A tablet on this building commemorates the fact that Mozart made his first public appearance here in 1762.
