The Hofburg Palace was built in the late 13th century as the palace of the Duchy of Austria, and later became the royal palace of the Holy Roman Empire . In 1722, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI authorized the construction of a permanent imperial library within the Hofburg Palace, and as of the 18th century, it boasted a collection of approximately 200,000 books. In 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was defeated in World War I and dissolved, so in 1920 the name was changed to the current 'Austrian National Library,' which it remains to this day.
