The Graz Museum Schlossberg showcases the history of the distinctive Schlossberg in a unique museum park. The historical stables and cannon bastions are accessible for everyone, and the shady wonder garden in the foyer offers a quiet view of the site. The animal figures in the garden, such as the heraldic panther or the stone dog, tell stories of myths, fears, and power concepts from past times.
A highlight is the History Trail in the former artillery house. Over two dozen monuments from the ruling era to the Napoleonic siege provide insights into the city's history. In the casemate, there is the Schlossberg Story: a transparent model of the mountain that multimedia guides visitors through the underground tower, the historic Turkish fountain, and the extensive tunnel system.
From the cannon hall, there is a panoramic view over Graz. An interactive city model shows the historical development of the old town and its surroundings in fast motion. The architecture of the museum combines historical substance with modern design, while the courtyard creates a seamless transition between nature and architectural history.
The Graz Museum Schlossberg highlights the significance of this place where history, myths, and urban development converge. Multimedia stories and the view of the city make the visit a special experience in the Graz Region.
