The Hofkirche is a beautiful church that was built in the mid 16th century as a memorial to Emperor Maximilian I, by his grandson, Emperor Ferdinand I. The church, and Emperor Maximilian I’s tomb, is one of the most important (if not the most important) monuments in the Tyrol region of Austria, and is one of the most popular attractions in Innsbruck. The Hofkirche contains a pipe organ called the Ebert Organ which is almost five hundred years old, 28 massive bronze statues depicting Maximilian I, his ancestors, and legendary figures from Austrian history, and the Silver Chapel, which contains the sarcophagus of Phillippine Welser, the wife of Ferdinand II.
