Palais Rasumofsky, Vienna

A monumental, Neoclassical architecture of the Western European type became part of Viennese architecture with the proclamation of the Austrian Empire by Franz II (I) in 1804.

Montoyer used columns in a façade when he designed a Neo-Palladian palace for the Russian envoy, Prince Rasumofsky, from 1803.
