Linz half-timbering
Characteristic for Linz are the dreamy corners and alleys with their half-timbered houses from five centuries. They are what make the picturesque Linz as a backdrop.
Half-timbered houses have a long tradition in Linz, such as the magnificent and elaborately decorated Bungart House in Neustrasse. Not a single nail was used in the construction of this half-timbered house. Only wooden pegs hold the heavy timbering together storm-proof.
Often decorative forms such as the "Wild Man" or the "St. Andrew's Cross" adorn the historic half-timbering. Guild signs such as tanner, stonemason or carpenter can also be found in the gables. Lovingly restored, they are now being passed on to new generations.
