A journey through the history and architecture of the Klagenfurt country house
Klagenfurt/Graz (OTS) – The inner city of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is peppered with architectural masterpieces that bear witness to a rich history. Among these magnificent buildings, the Landhaus Klagenfurt occupies a special position. Located in the immediate vicinity of the new town hall and the Lindwurm fountain, the country house is a symbol of the tradition and history of Carinthia. The construction industry and architecture platform Daibau, which offers its users interesting historical and modern Architecture in Austria would also like to pay tribute to this historical architectural jewel.
The history of the country house goes back to the 16th century, when it was built as the seat of the Carinthian estates. After being badly damaged in a city fire in 1723 and renovated several times in the following centuries, the building now shines again in its baroque splendor. Its unconventional architecture, such as the differently designed towers and the arcades adjoining the tower walls, give it a special charm.
The magnificent halls inside the country house are particularly impressive. The Great Coat of Arms Hall is particularly impressive with a ceiling painting framed by mock architecture and a total of 665 coats of arms of the rural nobility. The small coat of arms hall and the meeting room are also true treasures of art history that take visitors into a bygone era.
Today the Landhaus Klagenfurt serves as the seat of the Carinthian state parliament and houses the offices of the state parliament parties. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the magnificent halls on guided tours in summer. The country house gallery on the first floor and an inn on the ground floor also invite you to linger.
The Landhaus Klagenfurt is not only an architectural jewel, but also a living testimony to the history of Carinthia that captivates visitors from all over the world. On our architectural journey, we would like to recognize the skilled construction and restoration companies that shape Klagenfurt’s cityscape, warmth and living comfort. Their expertise and craftsmanship are key to the city’s aesthetic. As a construction industry and architecture platform, we have a list of these for those interested Companies in Klagenfurt put together, which represents a gateway to the world of Klagenfurt’s construction and renovation talents.
