What to expect
The Cathedral of St. James, also known as Innsbruck Cathedral or Dom zu St. Jakob, is a beautiful Baroque cathedral that has been part of the ancient Christian pilgrimage route, the Way of St. James. The cathedral is known for its 57 bells, including the second-largest bell in the Tyrol region, and its stunning interior, which features frescoes depicting the life of St. James. One of the highlights of the cathedral is the painting 'Maria Hilf' by Lucas Cranach the Elder, which is considered one of the most venerated Marian images in Christendom. The cathedral also contains the canopied tomb of Archduke Maximilian III of Austria. The cathedral's interior is partially accessible, with a metal ramp at the entrance, making it possible for visitors with mobility issues to explore the cathedral. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and beautiful artwork, the Cathedral of St. James is a must-visit destination for families and travelers alike
