5. Landhaus

Landhaus Graz is a Renaissance structure that consists of several tracts, which were gradually bought or constructed by the Styrian assembly in the 16th century. The oldest section is that of Schmiedgasse 5, built between 1500 and 1510. Italian Architect Domenico Dell’Allio built the main tract, in the Herrengasse, in Venetian style in 1557. Despite this mix of origins, the whole complex appears as one unified building because great care was taken to incorporate the various building styles into one harmonious exterior.
