Nibelungen Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Nibelungen Bridge in Linz connects the city center and Urfahr districts. The bridge was built between 1938 and 1940 right next to the place where the first and for a long time only bridge in Linz was built around 1500. The old one was demolished after the new one was completed. (Source: Donauregion.at)

Linz Castle

Highlight • Castle

Magnificent view from the terrace of the south wing of Linz Castle. The modern south wing was opened in 2009 and replaced the part of the castle that was destroyed by fire in 1800. This is where the entrance to the castle museum, exhibition rooms and the castle restaurant are located.

Donaublick Viewpoint

A good vantage point near the Josefswarte, from which you can look up and down the Danube! Opposite you can see the Pöstlingberg, the symbol of Linz (Pöstlingbergbahn from the main square) with its pilgrimage church. There are beautiful walks in the area.

Stupa Linz

Highlight • Religious Site

Here in the public park on Linz's Freinberg there has been a stupa since 2013, an ancient archetypal symbol for the fully realized or "awakened" spirit, completed by the Friends of Diamond Way Buddhism Linz.

"The intention of the builders is to increase peace, happiness, freedom and harmony for all living beings who come in contact with or see the stupa."

Linz Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Mary's Cathedral (New Cathedral), Linz
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Linz is a neo-Gothic, Roman Catholic church building, which is also called St. Mary's Cathedral and New Cathedral. The building was commissioned in 1855 by the Bishop of Linz, Franz Joseph Rudigier, in gratitude for the bull Ineffabilis Deus of December 8, 1854.
The foundation stone was laid in 1862, and on May 1, 1924, the cathedral was finally consecrated as St. Mary's Church by Bishop Johannes Maria Gföllner. The building was not completed until 1935, and the cathedral square was redesigned as part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Diocese of Linz. The cathedral is the largest church in Austria and is around two meters lower than St. Stephen's Cathedral.
