List of Renaissance buildings in Austria

The list of Renaissance buildings in Austria is intended to give as complete an overview as possible of Renaissance buildings in Austria . The list is sorted by federal state .

Some of the buildings listed can also be classified as belonging to Mannerism or (early) Baroque , especially since a clear dividing line between Renaissance and Baroque cannot be clearly defined (see therefore also the list of Baroque buildings in Austria ).
