Bischöfliches Palais, Graz, Episcopal palace in Innere Stadt district, Graz, Austria
The Bischöfliches Palais spans multiple wings with vaulted cellars, ground floors, and features architectural elements from different periods throughout its structure.
The palace originated from a house donation by Ottokar von Graz to Bishop Ulrich von Seckau in 1254, located outside the medieval city walls until 1267.
The building serves as the episcopal seat and diocesan ordinariat of Graz-Seckau, containing a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity and rooms with ceiling frescoes.
The palace, situated at Bischofplatz 4 in downtown Graz, underwent reconstruction from 1947 to 1950 following damage from World War II bombing.
Wall paintings from 1270 depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament in Romanesque style were discovered after bomb-induced vibrations revealed them.
