Bressanone - Court Palace (Hofburg)

Southwest of the cathedral in Bressanone stands the former royal episcopal palace, now restored. There was a castle here from 1260, which gave place in 1595 to a new Renaissance palace, which was not finally completed until 1710; the latter stages of construction show Baroque influence. In the typical inner courtyard with its three-storyed loggias stand terracotta figures (1600) by the master sculptor from Schongau, Hans Reichle.
