IMPERIAL HOFBURG
In 1500 the Hofburg Innsbruck was completed under Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519). It already had the same dimensions as today and was captured by Albrecht Dürer as a watercolor. You can see a late Gothic inner courtyard with a covered staircase, the coat of arms tower and the women's chambers, called "Frauenzimmer". There was a large reception room, which was designed as a hall with columns and vaults and is now known as the "Gothic Cellar". A "Kürnstube" in which Maximilian's hunting trophies were housed, a "Silverkammer" (treasury) and a banquet hall (with depictions of Hercules) have also been preserved.
The "racing ground" in front of the Hofburg served as a tournament venue for the sports-loving emperor.
Almost 250 years later, Maria Theresa (1717-1780) visited the Imperial Hofburg Innsbruck and felt that it was no longer up to date. Since 1665 there were no more Tyrolean sovereigns and the governors, who now ruled Tyrol on behalf of the Emperor, lived on the first floor (Lieutenancy). The state rooms on the second floor, which were reserved for the Imperial Family, remained uninhabited. The ruler ordered a renovation in the Viennese late baroque style and sent her best artists to Innsbruck: Konstantin von Walter and Nicolaus Parcassi. Martin van Meytens and his school as well as Franz Anton Maulbertsch were commissioned to furnish the interior. The renovation work was interrupted by the Seven Years' War and lasted until the 1870s.

I followed a tour from Komoot, but unfortunately I don't know why the tour went above the Inn River. It was still a beautiful day. We had schnitzel at Gasthaus Steneck, but it was a disappointment. Finally (for the girls), we went to the Swarovski store. Their eyes sparkled 🤩, and I got a headache from all the glitter. Finally, …
