Shopping paradise

Herzmansky was one of the first department stores in Vienna. It was founded by August Herzmansky in 1863. The store was located on the Mariahilferstrasse 26-30/Stiftgasse 3 in the seventh district of Vienna. Since 1998 the buidling holds a Peek & Cloppenburg fashion store. Unfortunately most of the building was destroyed in a fire, only a small part was left undamaged and showcases the original fine decoration – as you can see above.
