Landhaus, Graz, Renaissance parliament building in Innere Stadt, Graz, Austria.

The Landhaus is a Renaissance complex on Herrengasse whose main wing, built from 1557 to plans by Domenico dell'Allio, faces the street with a long cream facade, a projecting balustraded balcony and a square clock tower with a green copper roof. Inside, the Great Courtyard has three tiers of arcades, and the Baroque Landstube serves as the Styrian parliament's meeting hall.

Built in the 1550s under Habsburg rule, the building served as the meeting place for the Styrian Diet. This assembly governed territories across Austria, Slovenia, and Italy.

The Knight's Hall displays a richly decorated stucco ceiling featuring zodiac signs and natural elements that show Renaissance artistic tastes. The ornamental details reveal how local leaders once connected art with knowledge and power.

The building continues to serve as the seat of the provincial parliament and offers guided tours for visitors interested in exploring its rooms. Check at the entrances about current visiting conditions, as it remains an active government building.

Right of the entrance hangs the Rumortafel, a copper plate from 1588 that threatened punishment for "Rumoren und sich Schlagen" — brawling and brawling — during the diet's sessions. The left stone portal also carries such plates, framed in copper, with Gothic inscriptions banning noise and drawn swords.
