Kornmesserhaus
The Kornmesserhaus in Bruck an der Mur is one of the most beautiful Gothic secular buildings in Austria . It was created between 1499 and 1505 for the hammer gentleman Pankraz Kornmeß and its design is influenced by Venetian palaces of the time, as can be seen, for example, on the richly decorated open arcade facade.
The beautifully designed loggia or the Kornmeß coat of arms walled into the wall also indicate its prosperity and extensive iron and arsenic trade. This building, which is located on the main square Brucker (no. 22), so often as an indication of the wealth of the middle class at the time of Maximilian I interpreted. The design of the decorative elements on the facade of the house is art-historically associated with that of the western gallery of the Eisenerz parish church of St. Oswald (1513–1517).
From 1622 to 1629 the Kornmesserhaus was used as the Bruck town hall, and in 1792 it was badly damaged in a town fire.
