Title... Beethoven last house: Schwarzspanierhaus
Schwarzspanierhaus

There are several houses in which Beethoven lived . Some have since been demolished, but the town of Vienna holds in high regard the places where Beethoven stayed, even for a short time.

A fine example of this is the house in which Beethoven died, the Schwarzspanierhaus (House of the Black-Robed Spaniards), now destroyed, is remembered with this plaque...


Thanks to Hans for the three pictures below...

"Beethoven's windows were on this top (second story) row, beginning with the fifth counting from the church) and ending with the ninth (the one beyond the main entrance)"...
