About
The 'Hundertwasser Village' was designed by famous Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1991. It is located opposite 'Hundertwasserhaus' and shows his ideas of interior design. The house had been used by a car tyre company before and was completely redesigned by Hundertwasser.Hundertwasser at the opening: 'With the Village for my friend Kalke I was acting as a doctor for architecture: Don't demolish and rebuild but use existing building fabric and improve it by changing or adding to the building and inserting components with new forms and colours.'Hundertwasser Village is one of the most visited sightseeing places in Vienna and open for visitors all year. Entrance is free.

Have to say I love the Hunderwasser House and Village. Definitely a must see if you go to Vienna. A little bit nuts but wonderful.....The village has one of the most delightful and craziest public toilets I have ever seen. No straight, lines anywhere . Having been about 4 times it’s sad to say the ground floor of the “village” has got a bit tacky . But the upstairs shop is still very much worth a visit.Lovely well chosen stock.

We were pleasantly surprised by this Hundertwasser Village - a quirky, colourful and green oasis in the city! It is well worth a visit. Make sure to go up Kegelgasse and into the "village" which is around the corner from the Hundertwasserhaus front on Lowengasse. There are numerous cafes, shops and a restaurant/bar. Be sure to visit the toilets! Be careful with walking as, in true Hundertwasser style, the ground/floor is uneven. NO straight lines!! There are surprises around every corner.

Shop passage with bar, in the style of Hundertwasser. Expensive tourist kitsch, nothing that is also available in the many tourist shops in the city. Rude staff. Go in, look around and get out.

Small indoor structure located opposite the hundertwasserhaus. Characteristic with its colored columns and the small central square, but, all in all, a small tourist trap. In fact, there are souvenir shops, bars and ice cream parlors inside.

Visited this place in Vienna during mid day on the 20th of May 2024. Vienna casts its magic spell over you it’s magnificent buildings spread their charm over you as you explore every nook and corner of the city ! A Lipitor bit of history about this place : The Hundertwasser Village was built both on the inside and the exterior by concepts of artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser during the years 1990 and 1991. The building was used as car tyre factory before that time. The flood of people visiting the nearby Hundertwasserhouse led to the idea of constructing a house giving the infrastructure for the visitors. As a travel enthusiast this area in Vienna was very unique !

Indeed once you get to Hudertwasser House across the street you will find this ... this don't even now how to call it - it is a gift shop conglomerate with a bar , with part of the workshop of the architect upstairs , etc. (plus it has a public restroom at the basement, you need to pay 50 Eurocents if I recall it right - just in case you need restroom).
The reason behind this - there were actually 2 :
- gift shop at one of the landmarks of the city - so you can find a lot of trinkets as a memory at this place
- once the house (Hundertwasser House) was finished tourists tended to lose common sense and became annoying to the actual inhabitants of the apartment building, trying to get in the apartments to see how actually those are built. So the city took measures and open this place for the curious so they can actually see some of the architectural features used in the apartment building.
And indeed you can have an idea by visiting the Village - the visit is free by the way if you don't want a guided tour of the workshop.
Overall interesting well worth stepping in for a few minutes and get a closer look at the architects work.

A collection of gift shops that are inspired by the ideas of Hundertwasser. Some of them are actually really interesting, like the ceramics store that uses his patterns, but most are just what can be found elsewhere in Vienna in the way of souvenirs with a t-shirt or two showing the architect's work.
There is a nice little cafe in the middle that was good for sitting down and escaping the weather. And there are definitely Hundertwasser architectural elements throughout as it was one of his designs. Worth a peek in but not much more.

The pavements are uneven, the trees come out of the walls, the toilets talk and the tourists flock to the area, and it is easy to see why. The shops in the village are all touristy and not to my taste, but a short distance away is the Hundertwasser Museum which should not be missed. It has hundreds of the artists pictures, a summery of his life and theory and some photos of his architecture, making this an unusual and pleasant few hours

Kunsthaus: Excellent.....................Hundertwasser Village: Not.
The "village" faces an apartment building designed by Hundertwasser. The apartment building is attractive and well maintained, and a complete fantasy. It's worth walking down the street from the Kunsthaus just to see it.
But the village is the tattiest kind of tourist trap I have seen in long memory. And it was dirty, too, particularly the famed toilets, where you get to pay .80 Euro to stand in a nasty tiled room (which should be beautiful, but feels like you'll catch something) to listen to a recording of Hundertwasser describing his Theory of Something I'm not allowed to mention here. How apropos for the village.
Loved the apartment building, but you will be so disheartened by the Village, you'll leave with a glum feeling that this probably wasn't what Hunderwasser would have intended at all.
