		Once the Babenberg duke Henry II Jasomirgott had abandoned his claim to Bavaria and the Babenberg march was elevated to the status of duchy in 1156, Vienna gradually grew to be a ducal residence, where deeds were issued and the spiritual and temporary dignitaries of the day assembled.
		The Albertina Collection is not just one of the most valuable, extensive and complete graphic collections worldwide, but it also stands out among its peers for the fact that it has remained autonomous since its foundation and has never been linked to a museum or library.
		Of a square layout (5.30 x 5.30 metres inside, with a preserved height of 11 metres), the tower had walls of some two metres in thickness and at least four storeys; the fronting moat extended across a width of 14 metres and was 7 metres deep.
