Graz double spiral stairs, Double spiral staircase in Castle of Graz, Austria.
The stone staircase consists of two separate spiral staircases that wind around each other, meeting at specific points on each floor level.
Emperor Frederick III commissioned the construction of this architectural element in 1499 during the expansion of the Gothic castle complex.
The structure earned the name 'Stairs of Reconciliation' due to its design where separated paths merge at each floor, reflecting human connections.
Visitors can access the double spiral staircase daily from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM through the inner courtyard entrance without admission fees.
Each spiral staircase functions independently, allowing two people to climb simultaneously without crossing paths except at designated landing points.
