Eisenstadt Cathedral

After the great fire of 1589 almost 30 years passed before construction of the severely damaged church took place, between 1610 and 1629.

The service of consecration on 12 April 2003 and the dedication of the altar marked the end of the renovation after a year's construction work.

The windows of the nave depict motifs from the Revelation of St John the Divine and are by Margret Bilger.

In 1980 Thomas Resetarits created a figure of the Virgin of Mercy, which was set on the main portal.

The organ was built in 1778 by Johann Gottfried Malleck from Vienna thanks to an endowment by the widow Theresia Frigl.

A particular feature of the instrument is that while it still retains Baroque elements, there is much that anticipates the sound aesthetic which finally prevailed in the early 19th century.
