Ambras Castle

Ambras Castle, also known as Schloss Ambras, is a Renaissance castle and palace located in the hills above Innsbruck, Austria. It was built in the 16th century on the spot of an earlier 10th-century castle and is considered one of the most popular tourist attractions of the Tyrol. The castle is home to the world's first museum, which was established by Archduke Ferdinand II in the 16th century. The museum features an impressive collection of armouries, art, and cultural artifacts, including the famous Spanish Hall and the Habsburg Portrait gallery. The castle's cultural and historical importance is closely connected with Archduke Ferdinand II and his family, who used it as their residence from 1567 to 1595
