context_page_description: Pietro Francesco Carlone, or Peter Franz Carlone, from the Leoben branch of the Carlone family, was an early Baroque architect who was best known for building abbeys.
context_section_description: Carlone was employed for a long period at Seckau Abbey. 
  There he adopted the Baroque style for the expansion that had begun in 1625 on the western front. 
  The Imperial Hall, completed in the year 1640, was decorated with rich stucco work in 1660 in preparation for a visit of the Emperor Leopold I. 
  A year later the east, south and west wings were completed. 
  The west facade and the towers of the Romanesque abbey church were transformed in the years 1671–1677. 
  Carlone worked until 1679 at Seckau Abbey. That year he received compensation for his work over 18 years.
  More than half of the buildings were demolished in 1832. 
  The western façade and the towers were renovated in the 19th Century in the Romanesque Revival style.
