MAXIMILIAN I
and his illustrated
Runkelstein Castle
In 1501, Emperor Maximilian I visited Runkelstein Castle and saw the splendid frescoes painted around 1400 on behalf of the bourgeois Vintler family: the adventures of knights and heroes, and especially the characters of the triads along the Summer House. The images of Runkelstein Castle had a profound impact on the Emperor and his culture of remembrance, the images becoming models for literary and figurative works and subsequently inspiring the famous cenotaph of Innsbruck, watched over by those heroes and ancestors that he had also met in the Illustrated Runkelstein Castle.
