‘Domkirche St Jakob’ was built between 1717 and 1724 on the site of an earlier Gothic church. Based on designs by the architect Johann Jakob Herkommer it has an extravagant Baroque interior, much of which was completed by the Asam brothers of Munich. It houses some notable works of art including the ‘Madonna and Child’ by the German master Lucas Cranach the Elder, situated above the high altar. There is also a monument to Archduke Maximilian III constructed in 1620, two years after his death.
