The Goldenes Dachl, or Golden Roof, is a prominent landmark located in Innsbruck, Austria. This late Gothic oriel window is adorned with 2,738 fire-gilded copper tiles, which give it its distinct golden appearance. Completed in 1500, it was commissioned by Emperor Maximilian I to serve as a royal box where he could observe festivals, tournaments, and other public events held in the square below. The building also features intricate frescoes and reliefs that depict various historical and allegorical scenes, celebrating the emperor's reign and achievements.
