The country house is located in the old town east of your current vantage point. Find your way down through the park (below the vantage point), across the Tummelplatz and into the old town. The photo shows the north side of the Landhaus. What is the colour background of the sundial on the south side of the Landhaus tower?
The Linz Landhaus is a building constructed in several stages between 1568 and 1658 and today serves as the seat of the Upper Austrian Parliament. The magnificent north portal made of red and partly colourfully painted marble is a creation of the late Renaissance. The north and south gates are connected by the Landhaus passage, an imposing barrel vault on broad granite pillars. The Landhaus passageway, which has been closed to all traffic since 2009, leads to the Renaissance arcaded courtyard. In the centre of the courtyard is a coat-of-arms decorated planetary fountain, on whose central column the seven personified planetary figures of the Ptolemaic system are depicted. In the arcaded courtyard of the Landhaus, classical concerts are held in the open air in summer. From 2007 to 2009, extensive rescue excavations were carried out by the Austrian Federal Office for the Protection of Monuments in front of the Linz Landhaus in the course of the construction of the underground car park on the Promenade. Not only were Roman-era finds from the ancient fort of Lentia and the remains of a medieval cemetery and a former Minorite monastery unearthed, but in May 2007 a complete stone bridge from the Baroque period was also excavated. The bridge had been hidden in the soil of the filled-in former town moat since spring 1801 and has been freely visible again since 2009.

In front of the south portal is a metal ring set into the ground. The diameter of this ring is 3.14 metres. This metal ring and a metal plaque with an inscription commemorate the Pummerin, which was cast in 1951 at the St. Florian bell foundry in Upper Austria and placed in front of the Landhaus at this location in 1952 before finding its destination in Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
