Graz

Church sights in Graz

  1. A

    Stadtpfarrkirche

    The stained-glass window of the town parish church has an interesting anomaly: the fourth panel from the bottom on the right (left of the high altar) clearly shows Hitler and Mussolini looking on as Christ is scourged.

  2. B

    Domkirche

    The Domkirche dates from the 15th century and became a cathedral in 1786. The interior combines Gothic and baroque elements, with reticulated vaulting on the ceiling; its highlight is the faded Gottesplagenbild fresco on the cathedral’s exterior, which dates from 1485. It depicts life in the early 1480s, when Graz was besieged by its triple tragedy of Turks, the plague and locusts.
