The Austrian Hospice on the Via Dolorosa has been considered a little piece of "Little Austria" amidst the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem since its founding. From here, there is also a beautiful view of the Old City with its teeming crowds.

From the Austrian Hospital there is a gigantic viewpoint. For 5 shekels you can go up

The Austrian Hospice was founded in 1854 as an ecclesiastical foundation by the then Archbishop of Vienna, to whom the institution still belongs today. Emperor Franz Joseph is also considered one of our founding fathers. In 1869 Franz Joseph was in fact a guest at our venerable house.

Currently the Viennese Archbishop Dr. Christoph Cardinal Schönborn oversees the hospice, while Georg Habsburg-Lorraine is the chairman of our circle of friends, the Austrian Society of the Holy Land. As you can see, we cultivate tradition. You can rely on us. Even in the 21st century.
