Castle, Graz

Bold and innovative stairways can be seen as a distinctive feature of German Gothic architecture. A highly original double spiral staircase, commissioned by Maximilian I, was built in Graz Castle. here two staircases meet at a common landing on each story. But only the lower stairs are supported, the upper stairs form a suspended structure.
