This 16th-century Gothic church was built to house the elaborate cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I. The marble and bronze monument is flanked by 28 larger-than-life bronze statues known as the "Black Men," representing Maximilian's ancestors and heroes. The church also contains a silver chapel and a Renaissance organ. Maximilian himself is not actually buried here — his body lies in Wiener Neustadt — but the monument is one of the finest examples of German Renaissance sculpture.
