County of Tyrol
The
County of Tyrol
is a historical region in what is now Austria and Italy from 1140 up to 1919. Originally a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count, it was a
Princely
County, from 1504 a
State
of the
Holy Roman Empire
, from 1814 a province of the
Austrian Empire
and from 1867 a
Cisleithanian
crown land () of
Austria-Hungary
. Today its territory is divided between the Italian region of
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
, a small part of the Italian region of
Veneto
(
Cortina d'Ampezzo
and other villages) and the Austrian state of
Tyrol
. Both regions are today associated again in the
Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino Euroregion
.
