The Cathedral of Brixen/Bressanone is one of the most important sacred buildings in the Alpine region. Its origins date back to the year 980 AD. Due to a major fire in the 12th century, it was rebuilt in the Romanesque style with a three-aisled nave and two façade towers.
In the 18th century, the Baroque reconstruction took place, which gave the cathedral its present appearance. Inside, the Baroque idea of triumph was brought to perfection with magnificent ceiling paintings (e.g. Paul Troger’s Adoration of the Lamb). The cathedral features a valuable interior with 33 different types of marble. The high altar, completed by Theodor Benedetti, is one of the most important Baroque altars in Tyrol. In addition, the church was equipped with a magnificent organ.
