Austrian Parliament Building
The
Austrian Parliament Building
(, colloquially
das Parlament
) in
Vienna
is where the two houses of the
Austrian Parliament
conduct their sessions. The building is located on the
Ringstraße
boulevard in the first district
Innere Stadt
, near
Hofburg Palace
and the
Palace of Justice
. It was built to house the two chambers of the
Imperial Council
(
Reichsrat
), the bicameral legislature of the
Cisleithanian
(Austrian) part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire
. Up to today, the Parliament Building is the seat of the two houses—the
National Council
(
Nationalrat
) and the
Federal Council
(
Bundesrat
)—of the Austrian legislature.
