The New Cathedral: A Neo-Gothic Marvel

Completed in 1924, The New Cathedral is a masterful example of neo-Gothic architecture in Linz, Austria, designed by Vinzenz Statz.

With a capacity for 20,000 visitors, its 135m tall tower was intentionally kept below 134m to respect Vienna's Stephansdom. Unique features of the cathedral include extensive stained glass windows, notably the Linzer Fenster, depicting key moments in the city's history.
