Fuggerhaus Schwaz

The striking historic building was once the residence of the Fugger family in the silver town of Schwaz.

In the Middle Ages, the Fugger family from Augsburg brought tons of silver from the mines in Schwaz. Among other things, the Fuggers became rich with the silver from Schwaz! Anton Fugger built a house in Schwaz to manage his silver mining activities - the Fuggerhaus.It still stands today and can be viewed from the outside. The tertiary school sisters are now accommodated in the very well-preserved house. Where the rich Fugger used to live, the poorest in the city are helped in the tea room today. The facade with the larger towers on the two corners of the house and the small bay windows in the middle of the house is very magnificent.(karwendel-urlaub.de/reisefuehrer/wandern/schwaz/fuggerhaus/)
