Generalihof
What would the old town of Graz be without the wonderful inner courtyards? The Klapotetz wine bar is located in what is probably the most beautiful courtyard in Graz's old town centre, where over 100 selected red and white wines are waiting to be tasted.
The Generalihof in Graz is one of the most impressive Renaissance courtyards in the city's historic old town. This striking arcade complex dates back to the 16th century and was commissioned by the Protestant Estates of Styria and designed by the Italian master builder Domenico dell'Aglio. Rounded arches characterize the ground floor, while arcaded walkways on the upper levels frame the courtyard and enhance its architectural appeal.
Combining historic architecture, regional wine culture, and cultural activities, the Generalihof invites visitors to experience the unique ambiance of this remarkable heritage site.
