KAPU
Built by the Jesuits from 1669 to 1683 according to plans by P. F. Carlone, it became the Bischofskirche (Cathedral) when Joseph II made Linz a diocese. The Jesuitenkirche stands at the southern end of Hauptplatz. Anton Bruckner held the post of organist here from 1856 to 1868. The organ was converted in accordance with his plans and has been preserved in that state up to the present day. Tip: The Bruckner Stairway, a memorial in honour of the great musician, leads up to the organ (can only be visited with an Austria Guide).

Emperor Frederick III resided here until his death in 1493. Today, you can still admire the defensive walls of his castle, the bastions and the Friedrichstor gate bearing the inscription A.E.I.O.U. (which assumedly stands for Alles Erdreich ist Österreich Untertan or All the Earth is subject to Austria). The current building dates from the 17th century and houses the Schlossmuseum. The great city-wide fire of 1800 destroyed the south wing, which was reconstructed in a modern steel and glass architectural design and opened to the public in 2009, the year that Linz was the European Capital of Culture. TIP: On the terrace, you can see the world‘s second-largest cast-iron model city! 4
Open-air gallery with 50 facade paintings (some of which are oversized) by graffiti artists from 20 countries, including big names like Aryz, Roa, Nychos, oomit and Stohead.

Schloss Ebelsberg
Hauptplatz and Dreifaltigkeitssäule
The 20-metre-high Trinity Column, which was completed in 1723, is made of white marble. A typical symbol of the baroque period, it was built out of gratitude for having survived catastrophes, and as a protection against war, fire and plague. Linz‘s Hauptplatz, with an area of about 13,200 m², has been one of Europe‘s largest enclosed squares since the 13th century. It soon became an important marketplace on the Danube.
