The Freisingergasse is short, right behind St. Peter’s Church, and yet the little shop is easy to miss. Inside: dark wood and fittings from the 19th century. In 1844 the Button King moved in and supplied the court with buttons until 1918. Where buttons once lay, there is chocolate today.
In 2004 the confectioner Wolfgang Leschanz took over the shop. His pralines and chocolates are made in his own manufactory, and the Button King became the Viennese Chocolate King.
