Neuer Hof, the ancient palace of the counts of Tyrol, with the "Goldenes Dachl" and on the left the Helblinghaus.
The Neuer Hof was built around 1420 at the behest of Frederick IV of Habsburg as the residence of the counts of Tyrol. On the anniversary of the year 1500 Maximilian I of Habsburg had the famous erker added by the architect Niklas Türing the Elder, who built it between 1494 and House (German: Helblinghaus) is a building located in the Old Town (Altstadt) section of Innsbruck, Austria, across from the Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl) at Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse 10.[1][2] The original structure was built in the fifteenth century, but evolved significantly with new architectural styles in subsequent centuries. Originally constructed as townhouses, Helbling House was shaped by its early Gothic styles and Baroque façade.[2] The "icing-like" Rococo stucco decorations added in the early eighteenth century—the bows, window frames, oriels, tympana, masks, sculptures, and shells—contributed to creating this unique building, whose design helps to capture the light.[2][1][3] Helbling House was completed in 1732 by Anton Gigl.[4] The building was named after Sebastian Helbling, who owned the building from 1800 to 1827. ----
