Haus Wittgenstein Vienna (by El Romano on Flickr)

Built in 1921 by the famous Austrian philosopher (and architect, gardener, primary school teacher!) Ludwig Wittgenstein for his sister in cooperation with the architect Paul Engelmann, this rational Bauhaus style white house was bought in 1977 by the Bulgarian government and today is home of their cultural institute.

For those interested in Eastern culture and architecture, go here! It's quite hidden among other buildings in the 3rd district.

The building itself can be visited for free from Monday to Thursday, or arrange an appointment by phone for an individual tour.
