Constructed by the Jesuits in 17th century, it was designated a cathedral when Josef II appointed a bishop for Linz. The Jesuits returned in 1909. Anton Bruckner, the composer, worked here as the cathedral organist from 1856–1868 and the organ here was built according to plans by Bruckner and has been preserved to this day.

Timeless
Exploring Linz, Austria, on a sightseeing city tour was a delightful experience. The Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) and the clock tower of the Old Cathedral (Alter Dom) create a timeless backdrop. The lively yet relaxed atmosphere, paired with pleasant August weather, made for a memorable visit.

An old Jesuit church with nice Baroque artwork.
Typical of many churches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this church is a good example of the sumptuous Baroque art. For those who do not enjoy Baroque it can be passed by, but it is a nice church.

Beautiful church. It has been kept in wonderful condition. The people there are so friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested. One thing that could be changed is the fact the door is wide open all the time so is not very private because it's in a location where many people walk past. All in all had a wonderful experience.
