Tomb of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, Renaissance tomb in Hofkirche, Innsbruck, Austria.
The central marble cenotaph features 28 bronze statues representing ancestors and heroes, including figures of kings, queens, and emperors surrounding the monument.
Emperor Maximilian I commissioned this tomb in 1502, but after his death in 1519, his remains stayed in Wiener Neustadt, making this an empty memorial.
The bronze statues include representations of medieval figures such as King Arthur, demonstrating the connection between European royal families of that period.
The tomb stands in the nave of Hofkirche, which opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with modified hours on Sundays starting at 12:30 PM.
The collection of life-sized bronze statues took over 80 years to complete, resulting in different artistic styles across the figures created between 1502 and 1584.
