Cathedral, bishops seat. Architecture part of the main power ensemble together with the Burg/governmental seat.
Impressive, but not the largest church in Graz.
Seek out St Barbara's chapel, where the catholic resistance hid from the Nazi regime during WWII.

Beautiful church that can been seen from many corners of Graz. It is especially beautiful under the lights at twilight. The interior is lovely, especially the dome.

The austere facade shows a gothic style, while inside you will notice a mixture of styles, with solid, confessional and wood carvings, organ, pompous, pulpit, richly decorated and chandeliers with Murano crystal.
To visit, because between the main monuments, but not for me
Often in summer there are beautiful concerts of classical music

An imposing cathedral with a very ornate interior. Take your time to admire the details of the sculptures and the smaller side alters. Entrance is free but a donation is appreciated. Also don’t miss the frescoe outside behind the glass, albeit faded and unclear, but the description underneath is informative.
