Kremsmünster monastery house
The Kremsmünster monastery house as a former town house of the Kremsmünster monastery in the old town of Linz now belongs to the city of Linz .
history
The house in the old town was owned by Emperor Friedrich III until 1493 . From 1493 to 1507 it belonged to Bernhard von Scherffenberg , who sold it to Kremsmünster Abbey . The monastery built a new building from 1579 to 1580 according to the plans of Christoph Canevale , whereby older parts of the building were preserved. From 1585 to 1586 were rebuilt with Christoph Marthina. From 1615 to 1616 Marx Martin Spaz carried out a further renovation with an extension and the addition of the round bay windows. The northern wing of the courtyard was probably added in 1689. The facade was renewed in 1710 by Franz Michael Pruckmayr. The southern courtyard wing was added in the 18th century. During the city fire on August 15, 1800, the house was badly damaged and rebuilt from 1803 under the Abbot Wolfgang Leuthner . The building has been owned by the City of Linz since 1979.
Stiftshaus
The mighty, representative Renaissance building with a symmetrical five-axis main front with two lateral onion-crowned round cores extending to the roof in the old town extends with a narrow, long inner courtyard with a north and south side wing to a four-axis rear building on the Tummelplatz, which is drawn in to the south. The mighty round-arched Renaissance rustikaportal on the main front around 1580 with a cranked roof cornice shows a monumental Kremsmünster monastery coat of arms from 1710. The main house has a barrel-vaulted central corridor the width of the courtyard and a three-flight staircase with groin-vaulted platforms. The rooms are partly barrel vaulted, partly with stitch caps, and groin vaulted. In the hallway and on the ground floor there are round and square stucco frame fields. In a round arched wall niche in the stairwell is a figure of St. John of Nepomuk from the middle of the 18th century. There are baroque lattice doors. The floors are partly covered with Kelheim tiles. On the upper floor there is a remarkable renaissance Riemling ceiling with armor tree with dew-stick and notch-cut decoration from the second half of the 16th century, which was transferred here from the former Hagen Castle in the 1980s. In the courtyard wing, a chapel was set up on the second floor, probably in the 18th century, as a square room with a monastery vault. A memorial room to Emperor Friedrich III has been in the chapel since 1986 . set up.
