This monastery was built in the 1600's, and it replaced another castle, Castle Sparberegg, that used to be here. Both of these places were used as homes for older women.
It's very famous for the many stucco works around the castle. The entrance area was built in 1570 and is in a renaissance style. In the end of the 1700's the monastery was closed, and a lot of the art and works here were destroyed.

Hall is a wonderful medieval centre right outside of Innsbruck. The streets are small and romantic, and lined with old beautiful houses.
Take a walk around in the city and enjoy the fantastic views here. Not so many tourists come here, so you get a more 'real' feeling than you sometimes get in the Old Town of Innsbruck where there are more tourists. Leave a Comment |
