The Cathedral of Saints Rupert and Virgil is a stunning monumental creation of early baroque church architecture. Visitors are greeted by the magnificent main faç ade made of marble from the Untersberg mountain. The great treasure of the cathedral is the bronze font (1311) with lions (1200), where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Mohr were baptized at one time. A magnificent main organ, original gates (historical dates on the gate gratings - 774.1628 and 1959 testify to the solemn consecration of the cathedral), seven bells also create a rich decoration of this cathedral. In the museum of the cathedral you can see other works of art from its 1300-year history. Designed for approximately 900 seats.
