Austria is not a natural home for elephants, leaving aside prehistoric ages. Nevertheless, you often find their depictions on old facades. For example, this inn in Scheibbs has been known as “Zum Schwarzen Elefanten” (Black Elephant Inn) since 1541.

Kellertheater in Linz
One of my favourite diversions: Taking photos of decorations which don’t fit the geography of the region. So I discovered this elephant on a facade in the main square of Linz. The house is also known for a theatre (Kellertheater), which generally performs comedies.
