Alpine Club Museum
Mountains have always had their effect on people. They are fascinating and unsettling, they are inspiring and strange. In relation to the time of existence of rock and ice, the urge to move in the mountains is relatively new. The collection of the Alpine Club Museum is new and displays the varied history. Mountaineering is presented as phenomenon of body, spirit and heart.
Hofkirche (Court Church)
Emperor Maximilian I. had a massive impact on culture, politics and life in the Tyrol and in Innsbruck he had his unique imperial grave built. Only on his death bed he said that he wanted to be buried in the St. Georg’s Chapel in Wiener Neustadt. Emperor Maximilian I and his entourage filled the court with life at the end of the 15th century. Empress Maria Theresia had the Hofburg rebuild to a late Baroque residence.
