Fugger-Taxis Palais
History of the Palais Fugger-Thurn und Taxis+
The Palais was built starting in 1679 as a city palace for Count Hans Otto Fugger von Kirchberg-Weißenhorn by the Innsbruck court architect Johann Martin Gumpp the Elder. It became the oldest baroque palace complex in Innsbruck, modeled after Italian palazzi. From 1784, it was acquired by the Counts of Thurn und Taxis and used by them for postal purposes, as they operated the postal service. The interior of the building is not accessible to the public.
