Schloss Ambras Innsbruck

The castle spreads across multiple levels, featuring decorated halls, courtyards, and extensive gardens on a hilltop overlooking the Tyrolean capital.

Archduke Ferdinand II transformed the medieval fortress into a Renaissance residence in 1567, establishing it as the first museum in the world.

The Spanish Hall demonstrates German Renaissance architecture with its wooden inlay ceiling and collection of 27 full-length portraits of Tyrolean rulers.

The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with admission at 14 euros for adults and free entry for visitors under 19 years old.

The Chamber of Art and Wonders contains unusual objects from the 16th century, including coral branches, automata, and glass artworks.
