Linz - Municipal Museum

(Local Name: Nordico Stadtmuseum) A well-restored Baroque building of 1607 in Linz, known as Nordico, houses the Municipal Museum. The name "Nordico" recalls the time when boys from northern Europe were given a Catholic education here. The exhibits document the history of the city from its early beginnings to the present day.

The museum was originally a suburban house, built between 1606 and 1610 by Francesco Silva. The house belonged to the Kremsmünster Monastery and was used to train Scandinavian men in the Jesuit faith. Conversion work also took place at the house between 1673 and 1675.

Remains of frescos by Jakob Antonio Manta can still be seen in the main hall.
