Landhaus Eisenstadt

Landhaus Eisenstadt is a government building with a symmetrical front and two interior courtyards that create distinct working spaces. A northern extension houses the regional archives and provides rooms for various administrative departments.

The building was constructed from 1926 to 1929 under architect Rudolf Perthen and became the official seat of the Burgenland government in 1930. Its completion marked an important moment when the newly independent province established a permanent center for regional administration.

The parliament's interior contains works of regional importance that reflect the artistic vision of the newly formed state. These pieces show how local artists contributed to the building's role as a symbol of provincial governance.

The exterior and grounds are visible to visitors, but access to the interior requires advance planning or participation in guided tours. Check ahead to learn when the building opens for visits and what areas you can see.

The parliament chamber once held a large mural called 'Return of Burgenland' that was lost during World War Two. This artwork symbolized the province's recovery and independence during a transformative period in its history.
