The Ottoburg stands at the northern entrance of the old town, near the Inn Bridge. It actually looks like a castle, with many bay windows and red-white-red painted shutters. The building houses a restaurant serving Tyrolean cuisine and Austrian specialties. Its interior is also worth seeing: they dine in old rooms with cross and star vaults.
The location is ideal for a break during the city exploration. And the ambience is wildly romantic: ivy stretches over the centuries-old walls that were still part of the old city walls in the 15th century. The Ottoburg goes - as much in the old town of Innsbruck - back to Emperor Maximilian. In front of the Ottoburg, facing the Inn, stands a monument "Father and Son", a work by Christian Plattner. It is reminiscent of the wars of liberty in 1809. By the way, that was the time in which the legendary folk hero Andreas Hofer worked.

Documented from 1476 late gothic residential tower, from 1497 - 1515 in the possession of Prince Rudolf of Anhalt. He was followed by bourgeois owners. Perhaps the house was therefore called since 1565 "Eepurg" or "oed castle" (= empty castle). The name does not go back to Duke Otto II of Andechs, who resided opposite in the old city castle.

The memorial, called Father and Son or Anno Nine, depicts two life size Tyrolean freedom fighters looking for the enemy. It was created by Christian Plattner on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Tyrolean freedom fight and erected in 1914 opposite the Inn Bridge, in front of the Ottoburg restaurant.
