The Rathaus is a building in Vienna which serves as the seat both of the mayor and city council of the city of Vienna.  It was designed by Friedrich von Schmidt in the Gothic style, and built between 1872 and 1883. On the top of the tower is the Rathausmann, (statue that guards the city) one of the symbols of Vienna.
