奥地利议会，维也纳

The Austrian Parliament Building (German: Parlament or Parlamentsgebäude) is located on the Ringstrasse in Vienna. Constructed between 1874 and 1883, it was designed by the architect Theophil Hansen in the neo-Greek style. The building originally served as the seat of the Imperial Council of Austria-Hungary and, since 1918, has housed the Austrian Parliament.

The main façade resembles a classical Greek temple, with Corinthian columns, a large portico, and numerous sculptural elements. In front of the entrance stands the Pallas Athena Fountain, completed in 1902, which features a statue of the Greek goddess Athena surrounded by allegorical figures. White stone and marble dominate the decoration of the building, reflecting the influence of ancient Greek architecture. The design was intended to symbolize democratic ideals and the continuity between classical antiquity and modern statehood.

The Parliament Building is located on the Ringstrasse opposite the Hofburg Palace and close to other notable landmarks such as the Vienna City Hall, the MuseumsQuartier, and the Vienna State Opera. The nearest metro stations are Rathaus, Volkstheater, and Herrengasse.

Guided tours of the Parliament are available to the public with prior registration. As of 2024, tours are free of charge and can be booked through the official website of the Austrian Parliament (www.parlament.gv.at)
