The Helblinghaus

This elegant and extravagant building really stands out from the rest! The Helblinghaus is a building located in the Old Town (Altstadt) section of Innsbruck, Austria. The original structure was built in the fifteenth century, but evolved significantly with new architectural styles in subsequent centuries. Originally constructed as townhouses, the Helblinghaus was shaped by its early Gothic styles and Baroque façade. The "icing-like" Rococo stucco decorations added in the early eighteenth century—the bows, window frames, oriels, tympana, masks, sculptures, and shells—contributed to creating this unique building, whose design helps to capture the light. #Helblinghaus #innsbruck #austria #europe #landmark #travel #diasfamilyadventures
