Built in 1454, this building was damaged by Allied bombs between 1943 and 1944.

From December 1943 to April 1945, 60 percent of the buildings in Innsbruck were damaged [by Allied bombing raids] and 461 people were killed. Besides the marshalling yards, many historic monuments were destroyed, including: the Servitenkloster monastery (1614–1616) and the Bartholomäuskapelle, one of the oldest buildings in Innsbruck (13th century). The Landhaus or old federal state parliament of 1724, city hall, St. James's Cathedral (1717–1724), Stift Wilten monastery (1651–1667), the Jesuit Church (1627–1637) and several buildings in the historic center were badly damaged.
