The Grazer Landhaus in the Herrengasse was built in 1527-1531 as the first Renaissance building of the city of Graz, whose main wing was built from 1557 to the plans of the architect Domenico dell'Allio. The former seat of the estates is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Central Europe. Characteristic are the ornate arched windows, the airy arcades and the three-storey arcade courtyard. The Baroque Landstube is today the meeting room of the Styrian Landtag, in the Arkadenhof numerous events take place. The country house in Graz is the most important early Renaissance building in Styria. It is the result of several styles and has been completed by several architects. Nevertheless, the country has remained a certain uniformity, since all additions were very carefully integrated into the existing building fabric. Overall, the country house encloses three courtyards: the large Landhaushof, the small country house and the Zeughaushof, which is closest to the arsenal.
