Palais Kinsky is a baroque palace in Vienna. It was originally built for Wirich Philipp Graf Daun, the garrison commander whose son Leopold Josef Graf Daun became a field marshall of empress Maria Theresia. It was later bought by the Kinsky family, is therefore sometimes known as Palais Daun-Kinsky. The palace underwent renovation in the late 1990’s and was restored to its former state. The palace is used for auction events, houses shops and a restaurant. It is used for the final-status negotiations between Serbian and Kosovo Albanians in EU-sponsored peace-talks. This is an image of its inner yard.
