Linz Sights

  1. Alter Dom

    Nip down Domgasse to admire the 17th-century Alter Dom, where Anton Bruckner served as church organist. Step inside to admire the interior - the architectural equivalent of a wedding cake, with its theatrical pink marble altar and lavish white stuccowork. Bearing left on Domgasse brings you back to the Hauptplatz.

  2. Dreifaltigkeitssäule

    Admire the pastel-coloured baroque houses framing the Hauptplatz square and its centrepiece, the Dreifaltigkeitssäule, a striking 20m pillar of Salzburg marble carved in 1723 to commemorate the town's deliverance from war, fire and plague.

  3. Neue Dom
