In the 16th century, the temple became the property of the Jesuit order. The church has been serving as a cathedral in Graz since the 18th century. In the 20th century, the restoration of the interior was carried out under the direction of K.R. Lorenz.

Imposing, ornate church in old town. Architecturally impressive, spiritually difficult. Sadly, reminds one of the great cost, which undoubtedly the poor paid for in one way or the other. Area historical interests are within walking distance.

Usually a cathedral takes centre stage in the heart of the city - this is a little to the side but still worth the visit

The cathedral (Domkirche) in Graz is magnificent. The Cathedral is a mix of Gothic and Baroque style. It was built at the time Graz was the seat of Emperor Frederick III, in the 15th century.

The frescoes in the church date from the times of Emperor Frederick III. Among them: a fragment showing St. Christopher, clearly recognizable as Frederick wearing the Styrian ducal crown. The interior of the church is richly decorated and full of beautiful paintings.
It feels good energy and the atmosphere is pleasant.

This is, no doubt, an amazing cathedral. Beautiful on the inside. But I can never get over the fact that for millennia man is constructed these enormous palaces at an unconscionable expense.

The exterior of the church isn't too attractive, but the inside is very beautiful. It is worth to take a look, and next the church you can also visit the Mausoleum.
