The castle Wels now houses one of the most exciting city museums in Upper Austria. Famous was the castle and not least the city of Wels by the last knight, the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I, who did his last breath here on January 12, 1519. In the Burggarten you can admire a monument of the Emperor on a remnant of the Roman city wall.
