Discover more about DomQuartier Salzburg

The DomQuartier Salzburg offers a captivating journey through the city's baroque heart, uniting the Residenz palace, Salzburg Cathedral, and St. Peter's Abbey into a single, unforgettable museum experience. For centuries, this complex served as the center of power for Salzburg's prince-archbishops, who transformed the city into an Italian-style Baroque jewel over 400 years ago. The tour begins in the Residenz, the former official residence of the prince-archbishops, showcasing lavish state rooms that reflect over two centuries of art and style. The Residenz Gallery features European paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries. The Cathedral Archway Terrace connects the Residenz with the Salzburg Cathedral, providing panoramic views of the city's Old Town. The Salzburg Cathedral stuns with its early Baroque architecture. The Cathedral Museum displays treasures from 1,300 years of church history, including liturgical items and artwork. The tour extends to St. Peter's Abbey, the oldest monastery in the German-speaking world, and its museum displaying art from the abbey's collection. The DomQuartier also holds significance in music history; W.A. Mozart performed his court duties and composed music within these very rooms. Today, visitors can explore special exhibitions held in the North Oratory of the cathedral. The DomQuartier is more than just a museum; it's a journey through time, power, and artistic expression, offering a unique perspective on Salzburg's rich cultural heritage.
