Hofkirche

Reviewed By JDCharlotte

I love the history of this church. Emperor Maximilian I liked Innsbruck so much he wanted to be buried here... surrounded by 40 larger than life cast-bronze statues of his ancestors, relatives and even his favorite heroes from the Middle Ages like King Arthur. This elaborate display was built inside this church but poor Max isn’t buried there. By the time he died, he had become notorious for running up debts so the town did not allow him to be buried inside the church. So his elaborate sarcophagus is now called a cenotaph since it does not contain a body! Weird!!

This is a monument named after st Anna, the maternal grand mother of Lord jesus as it's erected on st anna''s day to celebrate the winning of war and as a rest the troops were driven out of innsbruck on st anna''s day. The pillar has four saints statues on four of its sides and is quite a sight.

Triumphal Arch (Triumphpforte)

The arch was built in 1765 in honor of the wedding of Leopold to Maria Ludovica of Tuscany. It expresses the joy of the marriange on one side, and the sadness of the death of Francis I on the other.

A great place to start your walk down Maria-Theresien-Strasse. Ensure that you see all sides. Take care as is is on a busy junction.
