The ice nativity scene in the Landhaus courtyard

 

 

Now a traditional feature of Advent in Graz, awaited with great excitement each year: the ice nativity scene in the Landhaus courtyard. Art, light and the beautiful surroundings come together with breathtaking effect, creating a magical atmosphere.

As in past years, the well-known ice sculptor Gert J. Hoedl and his international ice-sculpting team will create a magical Christmas nativity scene out of ice in the Landhaus courtyard. Made with about 50 tons of crystal-clear ice, the crib is sure to be an amazing – if short-lived – work of art again this year.
