List of Romanesque buildings in Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of Romanesque buildings in Austria is intended to give as complete an overview as possible of Romanesque buildings in Austria . There are also buildings listed that are not purely Romanesque but, for example, were later rebuilt in the Baroque era , or of which only parts (e.g. the apse ) were built in the Romanesque style. However, only those buildings are listed where Romanesque elements are still visible and Romanesque is not only present as an overmolded building core.

The list is sorted by federal state .
