Altes Landhaus, Baroque administrative building in Innsbruck, Austria

The Altes Landhaus is a three-storey baroque palace on Maria-Theresien-Straße in Innsbruck, built from 1725 for the Tyrolean estates. An eleven-bay main block and two fifteen-bay cross wings enclose a square courtyard closed on the fourth side by the Landhauskapelle. The central risalit carries three walnut entrance doors carved by Nikolaus Moll and Johannes Vögele, and the second floor holds the Landtagssaal.

The Tyrolean estates replaced their earlier house with a new building designed by court architect Georg Anton Gumpp, approved on 12 June 1724 and begun in April 1725 on the site of the former Harnischhaus. The shell was finished that year, and artistic decoration continued until 1734. The cost reached 63,215 guilders, about three times the estimate, earning the estates a reprimand from the government.

The Landtagssaal, a gallery-like hall spanning the second floor, holds ceiling frescoes painted around 1734 by Cosmas Damian Asam showing Old Testament scenes set in Tyrolean landscapes. Four niches contain life-size statues of Tyrolean princes and governors carved by Nikolaus Moll between 1730 and 1732, among them Emperor Leopold I and Archduke Leopold V.

The building is still an active administrative center, so access to interior spaces like the Rococo hall depends on scheduled events or guided visits. It is worth checking in advance which areas are open, since not all parts of the building can be entered freely.

The chapel in the inner courtyard is dedicated to Saint George, an old patron saint of Tyrol. Georg Anton Gumpp built it together with the palace, and Nikolaus Moll decorated it with white stucco on pink and yellow pastel grounds. The chapel forms the fourth side of the square courtyard.
