Passau_4900

The Passauer Dom Sankt Stephan (Passau Cathedral of St Stephan) at the center of the old town claims to be the largest Baroque church north of the Alps. The previous Gothic cathedral was damaged in the town fire of 1662 and only the exterior of the choir reminds of the former High Gothic church. The interior is overwhelming Baroque with gilded stuccowork, statues, and frescoes.
