    The Hofmannsthal-Schlössl, formerly Maria-Theresien-Schlössl and Fuchsschlössl, is a small palace in the 23rd district of Vienna, Liesing, at Ketzergasse 471.

    The magnificent building in Rodaun was built in 1774 for Prince Trautson in the Baroque style. The Austrian Empress Maria Theresia bought it a few years later and gave it to her confidant and chief steward, Countess Karoline von Fuchs-Mollard. For these reasons, the small castle was also known under the names Maria-Theresien-Schlössl and Fuchsschlössl. After the death of the countess, the property changed hands several times.

    In 1901, the newly married Viennese writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal rented a room in the Schlössl. Hofmannsthal lived here until his death in 1929. His wife Gerty continued to live here until she had to flee to England in 1938 after Austria was annexed. The next resident was the National Socialist local poet Maria Grengg, who lived in the Schlössl from the early 1940s until her death in 1963.

    In 1988 the Hofmannsthal-Schlössl was restored. It can be visited by prior arrangement.

      Hofmannsthal moved to Rodaun in 1901, where he lived with his family in the small baroque palace now named after him.

        Probably built in 1724 by Prince Trautson. Later, the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal lived in this house from 1874 until his death in 1929.
