Bundesbahndirektion Innsbruck

The limestone and granite building features neoclassical architectural elements with symmetrical wings and large rectangular windows across three floors.

Construction of the Federal Railway Directorate building began in 1897 after negotiations with Baron von Sieberer, who initially only permitted single-story villas in the area.

The entrance hall regularly hosts exhibitions that document the development of Austrian railway transportation through photographs and historical artifacts.

The building maintains its original function as railway administration offices while offering guided tours on weekdays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

The foundation ceremony in November 1898 included the placement of construction photographs between glass plates, which remain preserved in the Brunner-Nemec collection.
