The Innsbruck Hofburg is one of three imperial palaces in Austria (alongside Vienna and Schönbrunn). Originally a medieval fortress, it was rebuilt in Baroque style under Empress Maria Theresa in the 18th century and served as the Habsburg dynasty's Tyrolean residence.
Archduke Sigmund the Rich built the first residence in the 1450s. Emperor Maximilian I expanded it around 1500. Maria Theresa ordered the Rococo transformation in the 1770s, creating the palace's current appearance.
