The most beautiful building of its age
Built, starting in 1453, by Arch-Duke Sigmund and Maximilian I. Dürer immortalized the original construction with two aquarelles (1495) which can be seen in the Viennese Albertina.
The Hofburg in Innsbruck is one of the three most important cultural buildings in Austria, alongside the Hofburg in Vienna and Schönbrunn Castle. Duke Sigmund the Coin Rich had it built by expanding the existing castle grounds. It was later the residence of Emperor Maximilian (the Bavarian Regent), then the Hapsburgs again, and for a short time of Tyrolean folk hero Andreas Hofer. Wonderful gala rooms, such as the Riesensaal, the Gardesaal, the Chinese Room, the Sideboard Passage and the Hofburg Chapel bear impressive witness to the power and wealth of these former dynastic ages. The same complex also houses the famous Café Sacher, where the lovely impressions can be discussed in style over coffee and cake.
