Innsbruck - Court Church Hofkirche

 
The Innsbruck Hofkirche (Court Church), built in 1553-63 in the local Late Gothic style, is a three-aisled hall- church with a narrow chancel, a tower set to one side and a beautiful Renaissance porch. The high altar (1758), side altars (1775) and choir screen (17th C.) should be noted. To the left of the entrance can be seen the monument (1834) of Andreas Hofer (b. St Leonhard in Southern Tirol 1767, shot in Mantua 1810), whose remains were deposited here in 1823. On either side lie his comrades in arms Josef Speckbacher (1767-1820) and the Capuchin friar Joachim Haspinger (1776-1858).
