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.

What a fascinating idea. Enhance your own reputation by filling your chapel with very large statues of famous people, and a grand tomb with nothing in it.The overall effect is memorable.They don't waste money on overheating it! Included in the Innsbruck Card - you enter via the Folk Museum.

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

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.

It is an impressive sight inside, with Maximilian I tomb and numerous statues of various historical figures. The statues were very detailed, worth checking them up close. We were happy that we decided to visit this church.

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.

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.
