In 1420, Duke Friedrich IV. Had the empty bag from two older town houses on the town square the "Neuhof" as the seat of the Tyrolean prince. In 1500, Emperor Maximilian I commissioned the construction of the Golden Roof.
Above the substructure rises the Wohnsöller with the eight-part crest frieze, the Gothic rectangular window, and the frescoes. These frescoes represent two standard bearer armor: on the left with the yellow flag and the black eagle for the German Reich, on the right with the white flag and the red eagle for Tyrol. Above the two middle windows, an inscription indicates the year 1500, the year of completion.
The master builder was Niklas Türing, the paintings are by Jörg Kölderer from Inzing.

The roof of the golden roof, or rather the shingles, are so sought after that it is reported that the theft is being repeatedly renovated. During the work, a scaffold stands on the building and thieves come to the roof to the shingles. That entices. Almost every renovation has a "resourceful" thief who takes the opportunity. The joy was in the past but only for a short time.
After the material value of the shingles is low (there is very little gold attached to the shingles), the stolen pieces repeatedly appeared in public places in the old town or in neighboring Schwaz.
