Vienna – Hofburg – Michaelerplatz
St Michael's Wing (1893) of the Hofburg Palace, facing Michaelerplatz (St Michael's Square)
'St. Michael's Wing was also planned by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, and it serves as the connection between the Winter Riding School and the Imperial Chancellery Wing. However, because the old Imperial Court Theatre (Burgtheater) stood in the way, these plans remained unrealized until Ferdinand Kirschner built the wing from 1889 to 1893, utilizing a slightly altered plan.
After the completion of St. Michael's Square, two sculpted fountains were installed on the façade of the wing: Power at Sea by Rudolf Weyr and Power on Land by Edmund Hellmer.
The wing is named in reference to St. Michael's Church on the opposite side.' [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofburg]
