A symbol of Maximilian I's taste for extravagance, the Goldenes Dachl is still widely considered as one of Innsbruck's most elaborate pieces of architecture. Mainly known for its shimmering balcony, its construction was commissioned by Maximilian I prior to his wedding with Bianca Maria Sforza, ordering 2,657 copper shingles to be embedded on to the royal balcony. The balcony was gilded as a gesture of goodwill to the people of Innsbruck, but this stretched the royal household's finances to such an extent that the emperor was forced to take out a loan. The balcony was used by the royal family to watch theatrical productions and other forms of court entertainment. Now it is a part of the Museum Golden Roof which offers tours of its interiors as well.
