Ferdinand II of Habsburg (1529 - 1595), Archduke of Austria, takes over the government of Tyrol in 1567 the government of the Tyrol and moved with his wife to the Castle of Ambras near Innsbruck, considered one of the most beautiful palaces of the time. His wife, Philippine Welser, was a charming and cultured woman, the daughter of a rich merchant from Augsburg. Given the difference in rank, the two married secretly in 1557 and their marriage was permitted by Emperor Ferdinand I only two years later, on condition that it remained secret and that the children, although receiving the name "of Austria", inherited only if the male line of descent of the House of Habsburg was totally extinct. Ample space is devoted here precisely to the two protagonists of the castle. Portraits, texts and digital books tell us about their public and private lives and their passions. Like, for example, Philippine's passion for cooking.
