Hundertwasser Village: A Whimsical Oasis of Art and Nature

Located directly across from the famous Hundertwasserhaus, the Hundertwasser Village (Hundertwasser-Dorf) offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the unique artistic vision of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Created between 1990 and 1991 out of what was once a car tire factory, the Village was designed to complement the Hundertwasserhaus and provide a creative public space for visitors. Hundertwasser's architectural philosophy shines through every corner of the Village. Rejecting straight lines, he embraced organic forms, bright colors, and the integration of nature. The result is a whimsical and captivating environment, featuring uneven floors, colorful mosaics, and a roof adorned with trees and shrubs, creating a green oasis in the city. Inside, the Hundertwasser Village houses a collection of small shops selling handicrafts, souvenirs, and art. Visitors can explore the unique boutiques, relax in cozy cafes, and soak in the romantic atmosphere. The Village provides a welcome escape from the ordinary, offering an intimate and warm experience that reflects Hundertwasser's love for nature and creativity. The Hundertwasser Village is open 365 days a year and admission is free.
