What you'll see
A Renaissance castle on a wooded slope above the city: suits of armour, a cabinet of curiosities, a hall of Habsburg portraits and a magnificent painted Spanish Hall, set in a free park with peacocks.
A brief history
Archduke Ferdinand II collected here in the 1500s, making it one of the oldest museums in the world. He married a merchant's daughter, Philippine Welser, against his family's wishes and gave her the castle.
