Mozarthaus
Singerstrasse 7
A-1010 Vienna

The Sala Terrena from the 18th century, is the oldest concert hall in Vienna and it was here Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart used to work and play for Bishop Colloredo in 1781.

The Sala Terrena with its beautiful vault, is situated on the ground floor next to the church and the sacristy. It was designed and painted in the second half of the eighteenth century in late Renaissance Venetian style in the reign of the Land Commander Carl Borromäus Count Colloredo Waldsee (Land Commander from 1764 %u2013 1786).

The grotesque scenes, the scenes of baroque sensuality, the floral paintings and the animal scenes give evidence of the purpose of this hall, as a place of pleasure for body and soul.

The famous Viennese popular figure %u201Cder liebe Augustin%u201D is also depicted here. In the course of the renovation of this hall, it became evident that this is the oldest part of the building. Fragments of gothic frescos were found and this seems to confirm the tradition that even before the Holy Cross had existed there. Today the Sala Terrena is used for musical performances, by the Teutonic Order and for other purposes of representation. Just as the church is a fine example of gothic revival, so the Sala Terrena is a baroque jewel that was beautifully restored in the course of its' renovation in recent years.

The Vienna Mozarthaus is situated next to the Stephansdome.
