Description

The Austrian Parliament building was constructed between 1874 and 1884 as the seat of the Reichsrat, the Imperial Parliament representing the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Inside are two large assembly halls which originally housed the two chambers of the Imperial Parliament: the Herrenhaus (upper house) and the Abgeordnetenhaus (lower house).

Today the building houses sessions of the Nationalrat (National Council) and the Bundesrat (Federal Council).

The building is one of the most important splended buildings at the Wiener Ringstraße. Built from 1874 to 1883 in the Greek-Roman style the rooms are used as residence for the Austrian National and Federal council.

This building in Vienna is 151 m (485ft) long, 132 m (433ft) wide, the construction costs (at that time gulden) would be today approx. 200 million Euro, the biggest of the 1.600 rooms -the pillars hall- sizes approx. 1000 m², an inspection walkway through all the rooms would mean to walk approx. 13 km (8 mi).
