Note: Originally a medieval fortified castle dating from the 13th century, the Hofburg was extended by each emperor. In 16th century new fortifications were built and the Hofburg was enlarged with the addition of new courts. It was from here that the Habsburgs reigned from the 13th century, at first as rulers of the Austrian patrimonial lands, from 1452 as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and finally as emperors of Austria from 1806 until the end of the monarchy in 1918. It was the principal imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence. Today is the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria.
