history
The former "Lesliehof", today's Alte Joanneum , was built between 1665 and 1674 by master builder Domenico Sciassia as a monastery for Sankt-Lambrecht - the Upper Styrian Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht . Already in the 16th century there was the so-called Rauberhof , an old aristocratic court of the barons of Rauber , after which today's Raubergasse is named. Between 1684 and 1802 the building was owned by the Counts of Leslie , hence the name Lesliehof .
Since 1811 in the premises of the Archduke Johann founded Joanneum - now Universal Joanneum - housed. This is where the geology, mineralogy, zoology and botany departments are located.
The Neutor stood in the immediate vicinity of the Joanneum until 1883 , with the old botanical garden in between. At the end of the 19th century, after the fortifications were demolished and the “New Joanneum” was built, the old Lesliehof was given the name “Old Joanneum”. The new, so-called Joanneum Quarter , today houses the Styrian State Library with its building in Kalcherberggasse No. 2 in addition to the two parent houses . Since 2011, the 200th anniversary of the Joanneum Museum, founded by Archduke Johann, the newly designed, central access area with various collections has existed . In mid-March 2013, the Natural History Museum in the Old Joanneum was opened after renovation.
