Landhaus is one of the most beautiful buildings within the Old Town of Graz, Austria. It is located within the World Heritage Site core zone. This building once housed the Styrian diet during the time of Habsburg rule, which also covered parts of Slovenia and Italy

Today the Landhaus building is used as the provincial parliament building. The 16th century Italian military architect Domenico dell'Allio did some renovation work on the Landhaus. Italian Bartolomeo di Bosio designed the stairs in the northwest courtyard.

One of the most beautiful parts of the Landhaus building is its central courtyard, surrounded by three-storey balustraded galleries that are connected by a raised walkway. There is also a fountain here with a forged bronze cupola. The courtyard is used in the summer months for festivals.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
