Landstraße pedestrian zone, Linz

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

The country road between the Mozart intersection and the main square is a pedestrian zone. Only the trams run in the middle. There are restaurants, shops and churches on both sides. At Christmas time the street is colorfully lit and decorated. A Christmas market called “Winterwald” (“Winter Magic in the Klosterhof”) takes place opposite the Ursuline Church near the “Sieglbräu zum Klosterhof” restaurant.

Carmelite Church, Linz

Highlight • Religious Site

Former Ursuline Church, Linz
The Roman Catholic Ursulinenkirche on Linzer Landstraße, dedicated to Archangel Michael, was built between 1736 and 1772 with two towers and a late Baroque façade. In 1757 it was consecrated.
In 1680, after the first Ursulines arrived from Vienna and started schooling, they built a chapel on the site of the current church. The new church was built in two main phases, 1736-1757 and 1770-1772. Johann Haslinger managed the construction until his death in 1741. The expansion of the tower zone in 1770-1772 was probably carried out by the stonemason Johann Michael Herstorfer.

Jesuit Church (Old Cathedral), Linz
History
In 1669, the foundation stone for the church was ceremoniously laid in the middle of the threshold of the main entrance. In the same year, the city wall and the Zwinger to the south were purchased by the city. In 1673, the roof was leveled and construction of the roof began. In 1674, the towers were erected and completed a year later. The church was completed in 1676. It was consecrated - still without a high altar - on September 4, 1678.
The architect who designed the church is unknown, but its relationship to the collegiate church of Garsten suggests that Pietro Francesco Carlone was the author of the plan.

Old City Hall Linz

Highlight • Settlement

Old Town Hall, Linz
The Old Town Hall is one of the sights of the Upper Austrian capital Linz. Like many of the buildings in Linz's town hall district and old town district, the building has an arcaded courtyard.
The building in its current form was designed by Master Christoph after the city fire of 1509. The characteristic octagonal town hall tower and some vaulted rooms inside the town hall have been preserved from this building. In 1658/1659, the building was expanded and received its current baroque facade.
During the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who was greeted with cheers by the population in the city of his youth, announced the completion of the so-called annexation in his first speech as German Chancellor on Austrian soil.

Brucknerhaus Linz

Highlight • Monument

Bruckner House Linz
Artists who take their first chance here have both feet firmly on the career ladder. When first-class orchestras perform in the largest concert hall outside of Vienna, music becomes an “experience of intoxicating beauty” – this is how Herbert von Karajan felt at the opening concert on March 23, 1974 with the Vienna Philharmonic. The timelessly beautiful and for that time courageous architecture in harmonious combination with excellent acoustics let even the cool and matter-of-fact conductor get into exuberance. Today, the Brucknerhaus is a Linz landmark of international standing. What is played here must have quality.
