Schubert's house, Vienna Travel Guide

Schubert's House, located at Säulengasse 3 in Vienna's Alsergrund district (9th district), offers a unique window into the life of Franz Schubert, one of Vienna's most beloved composers. While not his birthplace (which is located on Nußdorfer Straße) , this house was home to Schubert and his family from 1801.Today, the building serves as a museum, exhibiting documents, paintings, and audio samples that trace Schubert's biography, social circles, and musical achievements. Visitors can view portraits of the composer and a pair of his iconic glasses. The museum provides insight into Schubert's early life and the environment that fostered his musical talent.While the museum offers a glimpse into Schubert's world, it's worth noting that Schubert also resided at Spiegelgasse, where he lived with his friend Franz von Schober from 1822 to 1823. It was here that he worked on his famous Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, also known as his Unfinished Symphony. Another nearby location is the Schubertkirche church, where he was christened and regularly performed.
