Landtag Steiermark:

Inseparably connected to the history of Styria, the history of the Landtag up to today is told in an overview outlining the most important stages starting from the birth of the Land in the 12th century to the Federal State of Styria. The way the Styrian State Parliament is structured and the powers it has are clearly explained in a separate section. The Landhaus has constituted the permanent seat of the Landtag ever since a building was purchased in the Herrengasse in 1494 specifically to accommodate the requirements of the Styrian estates. It was redesigned as a magnificent monumental structure in the 16th century. The construction history of the Landhaus is explored in the same meticulous detail as the artistic decoration of the Rittersaal, the Landtag chapel and the Landstube.
