The Helbling House in Innsbruck's Old Town is an architectural gem: it boasts a highly ornate Rococo stucco facade. Originally built in the 15th century as a Gothic burgher's house, it underwent a magnificent Baroque transformation around 1725–1730 by Anton Gigl (Wessobrunn School). The facade is richly decorated with floral garlands, fruit clusters, shells, putti, masks, and acanthus ornaments – a veritable stucco spectacle that artfully captures light and shadow.The Helbling House has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Originally built as a Gothic burgher's house , the building was acquired in 1725 by Johan Fischer, the cashier of the mint in Hall . It was at this time that the house received its impressive Baroque stucco work, designed by Anton Gigl. Gigl had moved to Innsbruck around 1723 and his artistic work left its mark on the facades of many buildings in the city. The name "Helbling House" comes from Sebastian Hölbling , who owned the building between 1800 and 1827.
