Historic Churches of Passau

Passau’s ecclesiastical landscape is defined by its dramatic Baroque reconstruction following the 17th-century city fires. This collection features St. Stephan’s Cathedral, home to one of the world’s largest cathedral organs, alongside the city’s oldest parish church, St. Paul. The list spans from the Jesuit-style St. Michael’s near the river confluence to the late Gothic St. Salvator tucked beneath the Veste Oberhaus fortress. These sites represent centuries of religious history across the Old Town and the riverside Innstadt district.
