Golden Roof

Japanese: 黄金の小屋根 - おうごんのこやね
Golden Roof
Located in the Residenzplatz in Innsbruck, the capital of the state of Tyrol in western Austria, this balcony is a symbol of the city. The Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519), who made Innsbruck his capital, had the five-story Habsburg Tyrolean palace facing the square built around 1500 as a balcony from which to watch events in the square. The Golden Roof came to be called the "Golden Roof" because the roof was covered with copper sheets covered in gold leaf. The original relief used on the Golden Roof is on display at the Tyrolean State Museum in the city.

オーストリア西部、チロル州の州都インスブルック(Innsbruck)のレジデンツ広場にある、同市のシンボル的存在。◇この町を首都とした神聖ローマ帝国皇帝マクシミリアン1世(1459~1519年)が、1500年ごろに、広場での催しを見物するために、広場に面した5階建てのハプスブルク家のチロル館につくらせたバルコニーで、屋根を金箔を張った銅板で葺いたことから「黄金の小屋根」と呼ばれるようになった。なお、同市内のチロル州立博物館には、黄金の小屋根に使用されたレリーフのオリジナルが展示されている。
