A number of remarkable buildings are grouped around Michaelerplatz. In addition to the Hofburg (Michaelerplatz 1, with a dome over the passage to the Burgtor), the Looshaus (Michaelerplatz 3), which was built at the beginning of the 20th century based on a design by Adolf Loos and was heavily controversial at the time, should be mentioned. The so-called Palais Herberstein (Michaelerplatz 2), a neo-baroque Zinspalais instead of the old Palais Dietrichstein-Herberstein, tries to adapt to the style of the Michaelertrakt. The Michaelerkirche can be regarded as one of the most historically and culturally significant church buildings in Vienna. Historically assigned to it are the Great Michaelerhaus (Michaelerplatz 4) built by the Barnabites, built in 1720 by Giovanni Battista Maderna, and the Kleine Michaelerhaus (Michaelerplatz 6), built in 1732. The church in between bears the number 5.
