Graz Cathedral
Grazer Dom (St. Ägidius)
A 15th-century Gothic court church whose southern exterior wall features the famous Plagues of God mural.
The cathedral was originally the court church of Emperor Frederick III and was built between 1438 and 1464. Its exterior is plain late Gothic, while its interior has ornate Baroque altars and a pulpit. The 1485 Landplagenbild ('Plagues of God') mural on the south exterior wall depicts the locust plagues, pestilence and Ottoman invasion of its time, and it is one of Austria's most important medieval murals. Entry to the cathedral is free. It sits next to the Mausoleum of Ferdinand II and the Burg, together forming a historic route through the northeast corner of the old town.
