The golden roof of Innsbruck is an iconic building in Innsbruck, Austria, originally built by Frederick IV, Duke of Tyrol in 1420 as the Duke's mansion. Between 1494 and 1496, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, celebrating his wedding to Mary Burgundy, ordered the addition of a Gothic-style viewing balcony, now the golden roof, on the south facade of the building.
The Golden Roof was built in 1500 in the late Gothic style to commemorate the engagement of Maximilian I. Maximilian I commissioned Niklas to transform the former dilapidated cantilevered building into a palace box with a Gothic dome between 1494 and 1496, so that he could watch the games and drama performances on the square from here.

A county in the Austrian state of Tyrol, located in the central part of Tyrol, bordering the German state of Bavaria to the north and the Italian autonomous province of Bolzano to the south. It borders the counties of Imst and Schwarz in Austria. It has an area of 1,990.1 square kilometers and a population of 154,940 (2001). The county seat, Innsbruck, is an independent city surrounded by the county. It is divided into 65 townships.
Actually, it was a bit of a surprise to go to Innsbruck. I had wanted to go to Interlaken before. I didn't know much about it in advance. After I got there, I visited the Golden Roof, Swarovski, and the old town market. There weren't too many people. The streets were very old-fashioned but clean, tidy, fresh and natural. The leisurely and comfortable feeling was so attractive. It was indeed an unexpected gain.

The palace castle is also a very good place to visit. The huge castle is a very historical building and also represents the glorious history of the Austrian royal family. The entire castle is built in a very safe area and has very thick walls for defense purposes.
It takes a day to visit the royal buildings and palace series, including the palace, museum and church. They are all well preserved. The castle here is very uniquely designed and has a strong historical heritage. You can also see a lot of artworks here.
