The entrance to the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, is part of the Holy Cross Courtyard, a courtyard complex in the center of Vienna. It is located between the streets of the beautiful Lantern and Grashov, and is today surrounded by a complex of monastery courtyards, abbeys, houses of worship and apartment buildings. The courtyard of the Holy Cross is often called the oldest apartment building in Vienna. It was built in the 13th century and has since then belonged to the Sist Monastery of the Holy Cross. Most of the chapel of the courtyard and the courtyard of the abbot were demolished during the Baroque period and rebuilt by order of the abbot of the Abbey of the Holy Cross between 1659 and 1676.
