Court Church Innsbruck

Absolutely fantastic church and museum, a definite must see if you are in Innsbruck and have even the smallest interest in history and/or religion. It’s not huge but a very interesting visit.

Amazing church with attached museum that is fascinating. The artwork and artifacts are amazing. Tickets are not expensive for what you get to see. I recommend doing the museum first and then the church.

Gothic church from mid 16th century. contains the impressive emperor Tomb and the high locals sculptures along side tomb od an Empress and local Tyrol hero. in the upper floor there is also another church. the entrance will be reduced if you already visited the Hofburg. so keep your ticket.

If the church was free I would likely give it 4 stars for its good audio guide or just to have a quick wander through as you can see it all in about 15-20 minutes (30 if you go very slowly), but removed one as 8 EUR didn’t feel like great value for money. The church was built to commemorate Maximilian I tomb, but his body evidently lies elsewhere per the brochure/statues map. The 28 statues surrounding it of his family and people admired are beautiful and detailed, and a bit unique for a church, as is the adjoining chapel up the stairs. Facility wise there is a cafe and clean toilets, which is a plus. But not worth 8 EUR as a standalone attraction.

As you see the most interesting part are the iron carving statues. If you look closely, every statue has its own theme and story. The detailed carvings and detailed work is impressive. Imagine doing this on Iron casting. The rest of the church is also impressive.

I have to be honest: why do you need to pay 8€ to visit a church with some statues inside of it? To me it doesn't make any sense at all! However, if you are under 19 it is free to enter. What I suggest is, if you are a family, not to enter everyone, but just the ones who can enter for free, so they can make pictures and then they can show you how it is inside, since, again, it is not worth the price

Love all the bronze sculpture in this palace. Very appreciated all the fine detail that's goes into the bronze crafts. Besides the bronze work, the church and the museum next to the main hall is also a must and not to be missed. Make sure to leave plenty of time to look around this palace else you will miss out on some of the fine detail 🙂

The 'black men' statues are great and an interesting story about why they shouldn't be there. Worth visiting. We got the joint ticket for the Tirol museum next door (where you enter the church and buy the tickets) - free with the essential 'Innsbruck Card'. Museum also good, some great dioramas and old farm tools (really), and recreations of Tirolean homes. You can easily do both in an hour.
