The Gasometers in Vienna are four former gas tanks, each of 90,000 m³ storage capacity, built as part of the Vienna municipal gas works Gaswerk Simmering in 1896–1899. They are located in the 11th district, Simmering. They were used from 1899 to 1984 as gas storage tanks. After the changeover from town gas to natural gas between 1969–1978, they were no longer used and were shut down. Only the brick exterior front walls were preserved. The structures have found a new use in modern times.

Surreal to think they were once used for gas. A fantastic structure with loads of atmosphere. Definitely does have a futuristic space vibe. Thank you for sharing it.

Chris - This scene does have a sci-fi look to it. It is interesting that there is a very modern interior with such a traditional building exterior. As with all of your photos, the details and clarity are superb. Thad
