The Court Church in the heart of Innsbruck’s old town

The Court Church, located in the heart of Innsbruck’s old town, is a Gothic church built in 16th century. The Hofkirche was built by Ferdinand I as a mausoleum for Holy Roman Empirer, Maximilian I. The absolute highlight to the visit is 28 incredibly detailed bronze statues, guarding the empty tomb of the Maximilian I. The Silver Chapel, up the stairs opposite the entrance, with a lavish altar and a silver-embossed wood Madonna, is also worth a peek. You can access the church via the Volkskunst Museum. Make sure you buy the joint ticket that covers the museum entry as well.
