Österreichischer Skulpturenpark, Sculpture park in Premstätten, Austria.

The Österreichischer Skulpturenpark is a 7-hectare landscape-architectural park in Premstätten, 7 km south of Graz, holding more than 70 sculptures by contemporary Austrian and international artists. Its core is Dieter Kienast's "Berggarten" from the Internationale Gartenschau 2000: walkable grass pyramids, a forest pond, a spruce grove and a large lawn sculpture inscribed with text from Reinhard P. Gruber's "Schilcher ABC".

The park grew from an initiative of former ORF director Emil Breisach, who from 1981 placed sculptures in the grounds of the ORF Steiermark studio. Its landscape, the "Berggarten", was designed by Swiss landscape architect Dieter Kienast for the Internationale Gartenschau 2000 as a walkable earth sculpture of grass pyramids, a forest pond and spruce groves. The sculpture park concept by Christa Steinle and Peter Weibel opened in Graz's 2003 European Capital of Culture year, and in 2007 the park joined the Universalmuseum Joanneum.

The park grew out of the Art Park around the ORF Steiermark studio, begun in 1981 on the initiative of ORF director Emil Breisach, who wanted sculpture shown outside museum walls. Works by Fritz Wotruba, Franz West, Erwin Wurm, Heimo Zobernig and Nancy Rubins stand among the lawns. Yoko Ono's 2005 Painting to Hammer a Nail in / Cross Version, a gift in 2008, invites visitors to hammer a nail into a cross.

The park is open to visitors between March and October, with extended hours during the warmer months. The paths are easy to explore on foot and the grounds are laid out in a way that is easy to navigate.

Part of the grounds sits above the Schwarzl construction-rubble and household-waste landfill from the 1960s, recorded since 2014 as contaminated site ST29. The landscape itself is Dieter Kienast's "Berggarten", a walkable earth sculpture of mown grass pyramids, a forest pond and spruce groves, with a text from Reinhard P. Gruber's "Schilcher ABC" set into a large grass sculpture.
