Posthof, Cultural center in Linz, Austria.

Posthof is a cultural and events centre in the harbour quarter of Linz, housed in a listed farm building that the city bought in 1984 and adapted for contemporary art and culture. Its halls are the Kleiner Saal (200 standing or 100 seated), the Mittlerer Saal (850 standing or 400 seated) and the Großer Saal (1150 standing or 600 seated), the last added in a later extension. A Posthof-Beisl pub is part of the venue.

The Posthof occupies a listed farm building that the city of Linz bought in 1984 and adapted into a venue for contemporary art and culture. The project answered 1980s youth demand for dedicated event spaces, following squats in Linz and the Stadtwerkstatt's move into a disused factory in Urfahr four years before the Posthof opened. Repeated modernisations added a second hall holding up to 1200 people.

The Posthof is a multi-genre venue for music, dance, theatre, cabaret and literature, running about 220 events per season from September to June. Its Heimspiel series lets local artists, since 2000 also from dance, theatre and cabaret, fill an entire month's programme once a year. Young Linz bands regularly open for larger acts.

The venue sits right on the harbor and can be reached on foot from central Linz or by public transport. Arriving a little early is helpful, as the grounds are spread across several buildings and it takes a moment to find your way around.

The Posthof was bought by the city of Linz in 1984 and adapted into a venue for contemporary art and culture, a response to 1980s youth culture that demanded its own event spaces. Its season runs from September to June with about 220 events attended by some 115,000 people.
