The Stadtpfarrkirche “Maria Himmelfahrt”, which is one of the oldest churches in Linz, has Romanesque and Gothic origins, still evident, for example, in the structure of the tower. The 13th century basilica was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 17th century and was inaugurated in 1656. The heart and entrails of Emperor Friedrich III are interred in an urn in the choir. There is a famous statue of St. John of Nepomuk by Georg Raphael Donner and an altarpiece of the Assumption by Karl von Resfeld.
