    Impossible not no notice this amazing house. It looks like a wedding cake whith frosting and decorations...
    Located just across the square from the Golden Roof, it is a salmon-colored 15th-century building ( ornate Rococo decoration was added in 1730 ).

    The parade of fascinating Baroque façades of the town houses on Herzog Friedrich Strasse, mostly built in the 15h and 16th century, are surpassed by the salmon coloured Helblinghaus. The Rococo stucco work of sculptures, busts, masks and shells, which adorn the outside, were commissioned in 1730 by then owner Johann Fischer and completed by Anton Gigl. The house takes it name from Sebastian Helbling, who had a small café here in the middle of the 1800’s

    This residential house was built in the 15th century, and was originally in Gothic style. But in the beginning of the 16th century it was bought by a man called Johann Fischer. In 1730 he decorated the facade in late Baroque style, and the work was done by Anton Gigl.

    The facade is incredible beautiful, and has many decorative elements like sculptures, busts, masks and shells. It's in Old Town like many other attractions, so you will probably pass by it at least ones. It's not possible to go inside, but you should stop and take a look at it from the outside.

    The building is a great example of the bourgeois grandeur in the Old Town. The buildings both around it and in the nearby streets are also worth taking a look at.

    The house got it's name after Sebastian Helbling, who had a small café here in the middle of the 1800's.

    The Helblinghaus, opposite of the Stadtturm / City-tower is in my opinion the building with the most beautiful facade in Innsbruck. This house was built in the gothic period, but the beautiful Rokkoko-facade that you see today dates back to the year 1730. Take some time in order to see this really beautifully decorated facade, that is also fully lighted during the whole night.
    In general most of the sights in the centre of Innsbruck are lighted, and so it might make sense to make a short stop-over of 1-2 hours at night, during a traintrip.

    The interesting palace Helblinghaus is a wonderful example of rococo palace. The building is built in a Lete-Gothic style with beautiful rococo plasters of the Bavarian Gigl realized in 1730.

    Hölblinghaus is right next to the Goldenes Dachl and you simply can't miss this grand baroque building.

    It was originally built in a gothic style during the 15th century but was redecorated in the 18th century.

    A very impressive building beautifully decorated.

    Right near the Golden Roof, you can't miss it, it is the Helblinghaus. This residential house was built in the 15th century, but in a gothic style. Later, in the 18th century, it was decorated by the owner - Johann Fischer - in the baroque style that makes it so distinctive. The name comes from Hans Helbling, a owner of a small cafe here in 1833.

    Just on the left side of the Golden Roof , the Helbling House stands with its Extravaganza Baroque facade in white and baby pink. It was built in the 15th century , but the facade itself dates from 1730 , when artists from the Wessobrunner School decorated it. Today it is inhabited and used for business.
    If you ask me - this house is absolutely alien with its pompous looks among the simple facades of the surrounding buildings. That's what makes it stand so much....

    Helblinghaus was built nearly 600 years ago during the reign of Archduke Friederick IV. Only the ground floor with its wide arches, has maintained the original Gothic appearance. In 1730 architect Johann Fischer redisgned the building in the most elaborate, overdone high Baroque style that I have ever seen. The entire exterior was intricately decorated. Continous triagonal bay windows reach to the top of the building. You need to see this building in person to truly appreciate it.

    The other buildings shown in the photo have maintained most of their Gothic elements.
