Translation of the text on the sign:
Die Stallburg (The stable castle)
built around the middle of the 16th century by Archduke Maximilian as a residence later only rarely inhabited by members of the ruling house housed the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm from 1659-1776, which later became the Stallburg gallery. The building got its name from the stables for the personal horses of the imperial family, which had been housed on the ground floor since 1565. Since Charles VI, these rooms have been used as stables for the horses of the Spanish Riding School
Badly damaged by bombs in 1945, the building was restored in 1947/48.
The newly created arcade passage was opened on July 1 , 1948 . The walled arcades in the Renaissance courtyard were uncovered in 1960 .
