Posthof – Contemporary Culture in the Docklands
The Posthof annually hosts approximately 250 individual events: performances of music and dance, plays, cabaret and readings. The Posthof is both a showcase for top-name acts from all over the world as well as a platform for up-and-coming members of the local music scene. Originally a farm located near the Port of Linz, the cultural facility was established in 1984 and expanded six years later. The Posthof is one of Austria's largest and most vibrant venues for contemporary culture.
