About Strauhof
The Strauhof, on Augustinergasse, shows literature as a space you walk through: exhibitions on authors classic and modern, and on the questions their books raise, with events alongside. The house is first mentioned in the 16th century, and its baroque character dates from 1772. Tuesday to Friday from 12:00 (Thursday until 22:00), weekends 11:00–17:00.
