Inn-Salzach style
The old Bavarian architectural style is typical of the old towns in the region, but there are also many examples in the neighboring regions to innsbruck into it.
The Mark The so-called "glare facades" are for the Inn-Salzach style: the gable walls on the street side are clearly drawn up above the gables of the house roof behind them and close straight on top of the wall, thus completely covering the sloping roof edge and replacing the conventional roof gable with roof overhang. The purpose of this construction method was primarily to protect the roofs from flying sparks in the event of a fire.
The fronts of the rows of houses appear very flat without the dividing elements of the sloping ceilings; together with the popular colorful painting of these gable facades, a cityscape is created that is perceived as particularly uniform and harmonious.
