From December through October, Schloss Ambras, a beautiful Renaissance castle, is open to public visitors. This gorgeous landmark is nestled into the hills and mountainous slopes above Innsbruck. The original structure was built in 1133, and while nothing remains of the original building, what is there now in its place through renovation and reconstruction throughout the centuries is stunningly beautiful and bears amazing cultural and historical value, like the bathing chamber or the 14th century Chapel of St. Nicholas. Other features include the breathtaking Spanish Hall, which is a 16th century ballroom dominated by elaborate sunken windows on one side and massive portraits on the other, and the upper castle’s courtyard, which has some of the best-preserved existing examples of frescoes from the 16th century.
