court church of innsbruck (hofkirche)印象

Located in the heart of Innsbruck's old town, the Hofkirche can be accessed through the Tyrolean Folk Museum. Before entering the church, your journey begins with a multi-media show that takes you through a series of rooms. Each room provides historical information on Maximillian 1 and the times in which he lived, up until his death. This is a well done and entertaining presentation, done in a number of languages, including English.With the completion of this introduction, you can now proceed to the church. The Hofkirche was erected to honor this Holy Roman Emperor and Habsburg ruler Maximillian 1. Inside you find his amazing Cenotaph (empty tomb) along with 28 statues representing ancestors and heroes of antiquity on either side. His actual burial site is in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. These larger than life statues are amazing to see as they watch over the tomb. Like most historical churches, this one has it's share of decorative details throughout. Also worth checking out is the Silver Chapel and Andreas Hofer monument.The Hofkirche is definitely worth seeing and offers some wonderful photo opportunities.

Worth a visit for the statues alone....good job maximillian didn't finish them all! Fit this in with the museum pass (reductions for over 60's)

By no means, our first destination was the very church with the multiple figurines. Yet, the second part of the visit resulted to be not less impressive: the interactive excursion about Maximilian I. Completely automatic. Informative and impressive. Strongly recommended.

This church was recommended by the tour guide who did not have time to show us the inside whilst we were on the walking tour. It has a wonderful multimedia show as an introduction and the tomb of Maximillian, housed as the centre piece, is amazing. It's a real surprise when you enter the church and was a highlight of our holiday.

The church is full of the tomb and bronzes of many people including KIng Arthur which is found on the reverse side of the entry ticket.the royal family entered the church by a covered bridge unlike the hoi poloi like us1 There was a wonderul display of cribs in a room on the opposite side of the cloisters.

The amazing 28 giant bronze figures that are inside this church are truly an amazing sight. The skill and talent that has gone into making these statues are unique. They surround a black marble sarcophagus of Emperor Maximilian I. It is definitely one of Europe's finest churches without a doubt.
-
The bronze statues around the tomb are the main reason to visit this church- they are breathtaking and incredibly detailed and quite a novelty in such a quiet religious setting. Entry is through the Volksmuseum- the reception staff are very helpful if. You are confused about which ticket to buy.

As part of a guided tour of Innsbruck, we were taken to the church. It was beautiful and so peaceful

The introduction ten minutes of video about Maximilian was a waste of time, I felt, as I just wanted to go straight into the church. Anyway, when the doors finally opeded, the vue was amazing. Huge bronze knights, Emperors and Queens dominate the nave of the church, looking like some figures from Hogwarts, and guarding the empty tomb of the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian. Amazing.The tomb itself was designed by Maximilian himself but it was too big to be erected in the place where he died, so his grandson built the church for a memorial to him. There is also a side chapel where Ferdinand 1st and his wife are buried.

So impressive...the artistry and beauty must be experienced. To think that this level of craftmanship was possible in Maxmillian's time.
