The Geymüllerschlössel is a small palace in Pötzleinsdorf, a district on the outskirts of Vienna, Austria, built in 1808 as a summer residence for the merchant and banker Johann Jakob Geymüller, whose brother owned the nearby Schloss Pötzleinsdorf. Its design blends Gothic, Indian and Arab elements typical of pleasure palaces of the period. The Austrian government purchased the building in 1948, and since 1965 it has operated as a branch of the Museum of Applied Arts, displaying Biedermeier period furniture and decorative arts along with Franz Sobek collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century Viennese clocks.
