Hofburg
Vienna.
The Hofburg, which was inhabited by the imperial family until 1918, was originally a 13th century castle that was expanded into a magnificent residence as the Habsburgs gained power and expanded their territory.

The Hofburg was the Habsburgs' centre of power for over seven centuries. The Gothic castle chapel is a reminder of its medieval roots, where the Vienna Boys' Choir performs mass on Sundays. Visitors can explore the sumptuous private apartments and state rooms, while museums showcase the emperors' appreciation of art. Today, the Hofburg houses the official residence of the Federal President, a congress centre and important art collections.
