The Golden Roof (German: Goldenes Dachl) is a landmark in Innsbruck, Austria. Built in 1500, the roof was decorated with 2657 fire-gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I. The reliefs on the balcony show coats of arms, symbols, and other figures in his life. The Golden Roof was built by Archduke Friedrich IV in the early 15th century as the residence of the Tirolean sovereigns. The Golden Roof actually is the three-story balcony on the central plaza at the heart of the Old Town.
