A part of the roof as well as that of the upper floor burned completely down. The Spanische Hofreitschule and the Austrian National Library were in danger, too, but could be saved. The renovation was completed by 1997, and the newly rebuilt sections now contain wall and ceiling paintings by Josef Mikl.〔 * October 31, 1848a fire, which started during the Vienna Rebellion, later burned part of the ''Hofburg Hofbibliothek'' (Imperial Library), destroying museum collections and notes in the Zoology-Cabinet museum. * February 23, 1668during the fire, Emperor Leopold I was rescued;〔 "World of Quotes - Today in History for February 23" (events), ''World of Quotes'', 2006, WorldOfQuotes.com webpage: ( WQuotes-23Feb ). 〕 after the fire, restoration work was performed from 1668 to 1681, and an additional storey was added to the palace, according to plans by D. Carlone and P. Tencala.〔 There have been other fires in the Hofburg, also, during the past centuries. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hofburg fire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
