The Butterfly House is a butterfly zoo in Vienna's 1st district, Inner City. It is located in the north-west wing of the Palm House on the edge of the Burggarten.
The palm house in its current form was built in 1901 according to plans by the architect Friedrich Ohmann and is 128 meters long and has a floor area of u200bu200baround 2,050 m². After it was closed for security reasons in 1988, a general renovation costing around 13 million euros was carried out. The palm house was reopened in 1998. Since then, the left, north-west wing has housed the butterfly house, which has an area of u200bu200b280 m².
The around 400 tropical butterflies flying freely in the butterfly house can be assigned to 150 different species, none of which are subject to species protection. The interior of the glass house is designed like a tropical rainforest and has a constant temperature of around 26 degrees and a humidity of around 80%.
