The Brucknerhaus (German pronunciation: [ˈbʀʊknɐˌhaʊ̯s]) is a festival and congress centre in Linz, Austria named after the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. The building was designed by Finnish artchitects Heikki and Kaija Siren. Its construction took place from 1969 to 1973. It opened on 23 March 1974.
