Dom zu Salzburg – Salzburg Cathedral

Temporarily closed

Of its numerous churches, the cathedral is Salzburg’s most important sacred building. 

The cathedral is very much the centrepiece of Salzburg. Here, there is much to discover: the baptismal font, the crypt, the art installation “Vanitas”, as well as the chest containing relics of Saints Rupert and Virgil. In addition, many secrets are associated with the seven bells as well as the three entrance doors. If you take a close look, you will even find 370-year-old graffiti scratched into the marble entranceway.

  • Magnificent Cathedral Architecture – Imposing tribute to the early Baroque, resplendent façade made of Untersberg marble, four monumental statues (Apostles Peter and Paul with key and a sword, as well as Salzburg’s patron saints Rupert & Virgil with a salt vessel and a model of the church)
  • The Treasures – Bronze baptismal font with lions at its base, imposing main organ, the cathedral gates by Schneider-Manzell, Mataré and Manzú as well as seven bells, three gates for faith, love and hope.
  • Guided Cathedral Tour – Discover the history and splendour of this baroque landmark on a guided tour of Salzburg Cathedral.
