Palace and monastery of Puchheim, Renaissance palace and monastery in Attnang-Puchheim, Austria.

The Palace and Monastery of Puchheim features Renaissance architectural design with detailed stonework, high windows, and prominent towers along its exterior walls.

The original fortress from 1130 was destroyed by fire in 1585, leading Weikhart von Polheim to construct the current Renaissance structure at this location.

The complex includes the Maria Puchheim Basilica, which received the designation of Basilica minor from Pope Pius XII in 1951.

The palace complex, located at Gmundner Straße 1a-c, maintains protected monument status under the identification number 110564 in the Austrian heritage registry.

The site combines the functions of both a noble residence and religious structure, forming a central architectural landmark in Upper Austria.
