Linz Travel Guide: 141 reviews and 451 photos

Linz is a major industrial center in Austria. Contrary to that it has a surprisingly nice old town and a beautiful cathedral. It's well worth to stop for a few hours while traveling between Vienna and Salzburg. The picture shows the Hauptplatz (main square). In the middle of the Hauptplatz, one of Austria's most attractive closed squares, there stands the 20 m high Baroque Dreifaltigkeitssaeule (completed in 1723). Carved in white marble by Sebastian Stumpfegger, according to a model from Antono Beduzzi, the column to the Holy Trinity by the guilds, the Emperor and the people of Linz in gratitude for deliverance from the dangers of war (1704), fire (1712) and plaque (1713). The column is flanked by the patron saints Sebastian, Florian and Carlo Borromeo.
