Linz - Kremsmünsterhaus

These two houses first belonged to Gotthard von Starhemberg. They were handed down to Emperor Frederick III in 1493, and it is said that he died there in the same year. The building was then bought by the monastery of Kremsmünster in 1507, and converted by architect Christoph Canevale in the Renaissance style later in the century.

Further construction, including the erection of turrets with onion domes, and a further story was carried out in 1616, based on designs by Maz Martin Spaz.

The building was restored in 1984-5 and a memorial room dedicated to Emperor Frederick III was added on the second floor.
