The other 22 districts also have long histories as suburbs or villages, and each accordingly has a distinct architectural flavor. For example, the third district, just east of the city center, is named "Landstrasse," or "Country Road," and accordingly contains many 18th and 19th-century buildings which were country estates, including the house on Ungargasse where Beethoven finished his 9th symphony. As another example, the second district, Leopoldstadt, was a Jewish ghetto from the early 17th-century through the [[WWII|second world war]], and thus has a strikingly different style of architecture.
