As enthusiasts of Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, and Art Deco, our visit to Vienna felt like a journey through a treasure trove of architectural wonders. While a dedicated post for the iconic Secession building is in the works, today, I'd like to introduce you to the enchanting Majolikahaus, just a stone's throw away along Linke Wienzeile. Designed by Otto Wagner, the Majolikahaus is a magnificent exemplar of Art Nouveau. It was constructed between 1898 and 1899. In this photo, I offer a glimpse of the Majolikahaus's façade—a visual masterpiece adorned with vibrant floral motifs and intricate ceramic tiles, known as majolica, crafted by the talented artist Alois Ludwig. These decorative elements imbue the building with a unique and unmistakable character. Initially conceived as an apartment complex, the Majolikahaus continues to house residents today, with each unit boasting its own distinctive Art Nouveau features. It's a pity that we couldn't have a peek inside – Vienna, Austria.
