 Golden Roof - Innsbruck by dvideira
This city's symbol has about 2600 gilded copper tiles which shimmer over a Gothic oriel window built in 1500 by Niklas Turing for Emperor Maximilian I who enjoyed watching tournaments and dancing in the city square below from his royal box.
The balustrade on the first floor is adorned with carved coats of arms, representing Austria, Hungary, the double-headed eagle of the Empire, Burgundy and Milan, as well as Tirol and Styria. The mural paintings show two standard-bearers with the flags of the Empire and the Province of Tirol.
Curiosity: Maximilian I was widely considered too extravagant for his own good.. Maximilian ordered that the copper shingles on the royal balcony should be covered in gold as a "gift" to the people of Innsbruck, but this stretched the royal household's finances so much that the emperor was forced to take out a loan!

 Goldenes Dachl / Golden Roof by globetrott
2657 gilded copper-tiles gave the name to this building, that is today the most famous sight of Innsbruck. In the frescos and reliefs you may see emperor Maximilian and both of his wifes and various coats of arms.
The Goldenes Dachl is beautifully lighted all night and some of the fine details are best to be seen at night !

The roof is 3.7 meters tall and covered with 2.600 fire-gilt copper tiles.The legend about that building says that when the buiding was finished the roof was covered with real gold coins,but I don't know if is true or not!.

I was just starting to think there weren't any tourists in Innsbruck, when I turned a corner into the Old Town, and there they were, all taking pictures of the Goldenes Dachl or Golden Roof.
This is on a house which was built in 1420 at the end of the Friedrichstraße. The Golden Roof was added in 1500.
Second photo: Tourists in the Friedrichstraße, with the Golden Roof in the background.

On the southern side of Herzog-Frierich-Strasse you can see the Neuer Hof. The building was made as a private residence by the dukes Fredrik IV and Sigismund of the Tirol in 1420. On the facade of this building there is the famous Goldenes Dachl: a gold canopy covered by 2657 copper foils gilded to fire. Under the canopy there is a loggia build between 1494 and 1496, from the emperor Max I on a project of Turing the Old. The loggia is formed with a balcony decorated by coats of arms carved by Turing and frescos made by Kolderer. Leave a Comment Directions: Old Town
