Hofkirche, Gothic monastery church in Old Town, Innsbruck, Austria
The Hofkirche features three naves with red marble colonnettes, intricate sandstone ribs, and galleries that demonstrate medieval architectural techniques.
Ferdinand I commissioned the construction of this church in 1553 as a memorial to Emperor Maximilian I, marking a significant period in Habsburg dynasty.
The church contains 28 bronze statues depicting Habsburg ancestors and heroes, representing the lineage of European nobility through artistic expression.
The church opens daily except during religious ceremonies, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Tyrolean State Museums organization.
A black marble cenotaph stands in the center, surrounded by Renaissance sculptures that took over 80 years to complete from inception to final decoration.
