Architecture sights in Linz

  1. A

    Alter Dom (13)

    Nip down Domgasse to admire the 17th-century Alter Dom (13), 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. B

    Neue Dom

    The Neue Dom, a neo-Gothic giant with a riot of skinny spires and fabulous stained glass windows depicts Linz's history. The cathedral's height was apparently restricted to 134m, so as not to outshine Stephansdom in Vienna.
