is a remarkable fusion of landscape, architecture and museum space.
The baroque library, with its ceiling frescoes from the 18th century, should be sufficient to

bring together the region's natural history with contemporary art and works from past
ages. From a glass staircase you can revel in the spectacular view to the Nationalpark
Gesäuse.
