Dom - Cathedral

The original structure was completed in 767AD, by Abbot and Bishop Vergil from Ireland, and was burnt down 8 times. The latest remodelling went with the Baroque style and included detailed sculptures. The four saints at the bottom represent Saints Rupert, Peter, Paul and Vergil. Looking down on them are the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John while standing on the next level up is Moses with his tablets and Elias. The bronze doors were late additions in 1957 representing Faith, Charity and Hope. Mozart was christened here and later held the position of concert master. Free admission but donations are requested.
