A New Beginning. Innsbruck Becomes the Capital

Innsbruck became the capital. This transformed both the cityscape and city life. In 1420, Duke Frederick IV purchased two town houses in the Old Town and moved his residence to Innsbruck. The princely court and the provincial administration took up residence there and left their mark on the city. The traces of this are still visible today.

The exhibition ‘A New Beginning: Innsbruck Becomes the Capital’ was created in collaboration with the Tyrolean Provincial Archives.
