Prince's Castle.
Erected by Archduke Sigismund of Austria around 1470
at the foot of Küchelberg Mountain as the state
residence, this castle served the princes of Tyrol
as the seat of their government. It was also occasionally
inhabited by Emperor Maximilian and by the family
of Emperor Ferdinand I. The castle is thus the ideal
place to study the way of life in the late Medieval
period. A bygone era is brought back to life with
furniture from everyday life, kitchen implements,
ceramic stoves, frescoes, portraits, musical instruments,
and weapons.
