Landhaus Courtyard
Grazer Landhaus
A 16th-century Lombard Renaissance provincial parliament building whose three-tiered arcaded courtyard is considered one of the most beautiful north of the Alps.
The Landhaus was built between 1557 and 1565 to designs by the Italian architect Domenico dell'Allio, and it remains the seat of the Styrian Provincial Parliament. The highlight is the inner courtyard, surrounded by three tiers of stacked arcades, which hosts concerts and open-air performances in summer and a Christmas nativity exhibition in winter. The courtyard is free to enter through the entrance on Herrengasse. Herrengasse itself is the old town's main shopping street, and along the way you'll pass the Gemaltes Haus (Painted House), whose exterior is entirely covered in murals.
Opening hours
