Graz UNESCO world heritage sites

Landhaus Courtyard at Herrengasse 16
This perfectly structured building is reflective of the grandeur of the Renaissance Era, one where you will almost feel the pomp and flair of the aristocrats.
Cathedral on Burggasse
A true jewel in the city, this popular religious site features several rare attractions such as the ornate high altar, organ, pulpit, choir stalls and a 15th-century medieval fresco. Among the other main highlights of Graz Cathedral include its impressive Gothic-style architecture and a beautiful ornate tower with a golden spire. Some of the most precious & attractive objects of the cathedral include the two reliquaries on both sides of the chancel entrance.
Double spiral stairs at Burggasse 3
The staircase splits and rejoins several times as it circles upward to the top, and has often been interpreted as a symbol of eternity. Graz people call it the “stairs of reconciliation” for if you go separate ways, you will ultimately reunite.
Mausoleum Kaiser Ferdinands II at Burggasse 3
The magnificent Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II is undoubtedly Graz's most unusual building. It gracefully combines Mannerist Austrian Baroque with the theatrical splendour of Rome's great churches.
