Hi, This is Secret Vienna!

We want to share with you stories about places, you may be more or less familiar with, but that have a lot of secrets to be discovered. One of these is in the 14th district in a rather unassuming house that has quite a history. We are talking about the Bahai Center Austria.

Since 2010 it has housed the Bahá’í Center Austria, which is the Austrian seat of a religion that originated in Iran in the 19th century, and currently centered in Haifa, Israel. But the building began life in 1903 as a military mess hall adjacent to the Breitenseer Kaserne (barracks). The barracks housed the cavalry of the Austro-Hungarian army until 1918. The former mess hall is in the classic Jugendstil style that emerged around the turn of the century, and was likely designed by a student of Otto Wagner.
