A walk through “Old Penzing”

Old Penzing from palais and Wilhelminian style houses to municipal buildings and the church of Penzing. A historical journey through time with stories through the centuries.

Daniela Kabele / Village of Penzing

Alt Penzing still has a village character with mostly two-story houses, with many gardens attached to the back. From palais, baroque palais and Art Nouveau buildings to Wilhelminian-era houses, this residential area is characterized by their houses. Municipal buildings also fit well into the streetscape. A walk with architectural highlights from the Palais Cumberland to the parish church of the village of Penzing.

Not only have I spent my whole life here, this area has a special flair. The Reinhardt seminar trains artists. Some stay, work and live here. It is like a journey back in time to a bygone world with many colorful stories

The tour is held in German and there are summaries in English at every section.
