Located at Dreifaltigkeitsgasse 15 - 19, this building was constructed in 1631 by Archbishop Paris Lodron as a Baroque palace for his relatives. Known as the Lodron Primogeniture Palace (Mirabellplatz 1), it now houses the "Mozarteum University of Music and Dramatic Arts" .
It was here that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart often visited his friends and patrons, the family of Arch-Marshal Count Lodron. Mozart enjoyed making music here with his friends. For the wife of Arch-Marshal Ernst Maria Johann Nepomuk Count Lodron (1716-1779), Maria Antonia (1738-1780), Mozart wrote his two "Night Musics", K. 247 and K. 287, in the years 1776 and 1778. To her and her daughters, Maria Aloysia (born in 1761) and Maria Josepha (born 1764), he dedicated his Concerto for Three Pianos (K. 242).
The palace was severely damaged by a fire in the 18th century. With the exception of the outer façade, the building was torn down and renovated. During construction of the modern building in 1979, a major portion of the Karl-Borromäus Church was demolished. The Lodron Primogeniture Palace is used today by the Mozarteum University, though the Lodron coat of arms is still visible at the entrances.
The most recent rehabilitation work was completed in October 2006. In addition to a new concert hall on the side facing the Mirabellplatz, visitors are also offered a brand-new perspective on the city itself.
