Jörgerbad

Completed just before the First World War and opened in 1914 as the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Bad, this is the oldest of Vienna's municipal indoor pools still standing, and it carries federal heritage protection. Barrier-free access works were finished in November 2022 and a water play garden added in July 2021, though the building itself is still recorded as not wheelchair accessible. The long rebuild has shifted: an analysis of the roof structure showed the planned energy targets were unreachable, so planning is being redone and the bath is to stay open until the end of the 2026 school year, with reopening after the rebuild given as the end of 2027.
