Ottoburg, Medieval tower house in Herzog-Friedrich-Straße, Innsbruck, Austria.

The Ottoburg rises over four floors with thick stone walls, crenellated parapets, and multiple windows adorned with Renaissance architectural details.

Built in 1180 by the Andechs counts as a defense tower, the structure was acquired in 1588 by Venetian merchant Georg Reitter who gave it its current name.

The building houses a restaurant that serves traditional Tyrolean dishes in five preserved medieval rooms decorated with wooden furnishings from different periods.

Visitors can access the restaurant on the ground floor, while the upper levels contain the original medieval chambers that showcase the building's architectural evolution.

The structure maintains its original battlements on the second floor, demonstrating the transition from a military fortification to a civilian residence.
