My favorite place in Passau. It really is a magnificent cathedral. It contains the largest cathedral organ in the world. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a truly beautiful place! St Stephen's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Vienna, Austria. It is the seat of the archbishop of Vienna and the most important religious building in Austria. St Stephen's Cathedral is a Gothic-style church dating back to the 13th century and stands at the heart of Vienna's historic city center. It is one of the most important Gothic structures in Central Europe and a major tourist attraction in Vienna.

There are 5 separate organs to play by one person at the same time. Excellent organ recital at noon and 5 Euro to enter. No recording allowed, but you can buy cd in the end.

Super impressive cathedral in the center of a awesome plaza. Story about the cannon ball still lodged in side of church about 4-5 stories up totally got my interest. Roof tiles/shingles are another amazing thing....have never seen anything like it.
