Schloss Ambras Innsbruck - Innsbruck

Schloss Ambras Innsbruck is considered the first museum in the world and is one of the most beautiful and significant sights in Austria, making it a top destination in Tyrol.

In the Footsteps of the Past: The origins of the Renaissance castle can be traced back to a particularly beautiful love story. The daughter of an Augsburg merchant, Philippine Welser, was not of noble birth for the Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595). Nevertheless, he proposed to her and gifted her Schloss Ambras as a token of love.
An Extraordinary Collection: In a specially constructed museum building, Ferdinand II also housed his numerous and partly exotic treasures made of crystal, silver, gold, or glass, as well as armor, weapons, and paintings. The first museum in the world – then and now a true must-see!

Visitors can explore not only the famous art and wonder chamber but also the impressive armories and the unique Spanish Hall. Additionally, during the summer months, the original preserved bath of Philippine Welser, the Strasser glass collection, the Habsburg portrait gallery, and special exhibitions can be admired.
