In the footsteps of the emperor

In Emperor Maximilian's parlour there are still original chalk decorations on the wooden wall panelling which, among other things, reflect his favourite saying:

"I'm alive and I don't know how long.
I'm dying and I don't know when.
I'm going and I don't know where.
I'm surprised I'm so cheerful."

Go on a virtual discovery tour with the current owner, Count Ulrich Goëss-Enzenberg himself.

On the history of the builder's rooms

In the winter of 1490/91 the castle burned down completely.

Maximilian I gave the ruins to the rich Tänzl family of tradesmen from Schwaz, who had the east side, the south side and part of the west side wing built in the late Gothic style.

The Tänzl coat of arms is still emblazoned above the entrance to the large staircase tower in the south-east corner of the inner courtyard. Although it bears the date 1500, it actually dates from 1502, the year in which Maximilian elevated the family to the status of nobility.
