Goldenes Dachl

Innsbruck's Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) is, in fact, an oriel (bay) window, added onto the front of the previous ducal palace to commemorate Emperor Maximilian I's marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan in 1493. Beautifully decorated with reliefs of the Emperor, it is roofed with more than 2,700 gilt copper tiles - hence its name. From here, Maximilian watched festivities in the square below. An informative audiovisual show and the “Maximilianeum” museum (behind the Goldenes Dachl) will fill you in on Maximilian's life and times.
