Stallburg, Renaissance castle in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
The four-story Stallburg features symmetrical arcaded courtyards with stone columns and multiple interconnected wings surrounding a central square courtyard.
Emperor Ferdinand I commissioned the Stallburg in 1559, which transformed from a residential palace to imperial stables under Maximilian II's direction in 1565.
The building housed Archduke Leopold Wilhelm's collection of 1400 paintings from 1659 to 1776, forming the foundation of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
The Stallburg currently houses the Lipizzan horses of the Spanish Riding School, with guided tours available through the Spanish Riding School organization.
The ground level maintains its original Renaissance architecture and continues to function as stables, preserving its 450-year tradition of housing imperial horses.
