NOTES: The cathedral, the third on the site, was founded in 1344, but construction was stopped at the beginning of the 15th century and not fully resumed until the 19th century, although the tower seen here was completed in the 1560s by Bonifaz Wohlmut. The cathedral was then worked on by several architects, including Josef Mocker, who designed the west facade with its two towers, and his successor Kamil Hilbert. The cathedral was finally completed in 1929.
