The Diözesanarchiv Brixen is the archive of the Diocese of Bozen-Brixen, which has a history dating back to the early Middle Ages. The diocese was established in the 6th century and was elevated to a prince-bishopric in 1027. The Hofburg in Brixen served as the residence of the prince-bishops from the 13th century until secularization in 1803. The archive itself has likely been maintained for centuries, preserving documents of the diocese and the prince-bishopric. After the dissolution of the prince-bishopric, the archive continued as the diocesan archive. Today, it is housed in the Hofburg, which also contains a museum. The archive is an important repository for the history of South Tyrol and the Catholic Church in the region.
