St. Stephens Cathedral In Passau, Germany

It is Sunday and we are visiting Passau. The cathedral is notable for several reasons. This photo is illustrative of numerous historic sites we have visited......under restoration. Guess this is necessary when you are hundreds of years old. The original style was very Gothic. After a fire destroyed the nave in 1662, the newer building was built in Baroque style and is the largest Baroque interior of any sacred building north of the Alps. The organ is the largest in Europe with no less than 17,388 pipes and 231 stops.  Look for another posting with inside photos of the pipe organ.
