Catalogue Note
The Castle of Ambras, situated in the city of Innsbruck, is one of the most famous castles linked with the history of Austria. In 1593, the Archduke Ferdinand (1529-1595) turned the Medieval fortress into a Renaissance castle where he housed collections of weapons, armour, portraits, and curiosities. The Castle has remained in the Habsburg family since then and is an icon in the history of Austria.
