About this audio guide
This guide to the Court Church in Innsbruck opens with a question worth carrying inside: where is Emperor Maximilian the First actually buried, given that this church was built as his tomb. It follows his decades-long plan for his own memorial, the bronze guardian figures known as the Black Men cast by artists including Albrecht Durer, and the legendary King Arthur counted among his ancestors. You'll also hear how a Tyrolean rebel later came to rest in that same imperial company.
