Was lucky enough to decide to visit Passau when in Germany. This cathedral is an amazing sight, a must visit if town. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to hear the organ.

Saint Stephan’s Cathedral is the home of the world’s second-largest cathedral organ, is one of Passau’s favorite attractions. Most people go to there for the organ concert. However, the cathedral has much more to offer. The dramatic Baroque building is sitting high in the center of the city, picture perfect, and you just want to walk around to admire it, try to get an angle to catch all bell towers in your photos. The rich decoration of the interior and pipe organ make are magnificently beautiful. Do not forget to visit the back yard to see those historical tomes. There is also a historical library and a gallery on the second floor. Passing through, you will look down the cathedral; have a totally different view of the cathedral interior. It is an unforgettable experience to visit this cathedral.

Passau was probably our favorite stop on a recent trip down the Danube. St. Stephen's was definitely the focal point of our tour through the island. We unfortunately we did not hear the pipe organ, but were told by others that it was fantastic. Passau Old Town is an picturesque setting where you can see the three rives Danube, Inn, and Ilz come to a meeting point. We were lucky enough to experience the first day of the Christmas market located on the square outside the cathedral. We believe their gluhwein was the best we had ever tasted. Don't miss a stroll through the streets and the pedestrian promenade of shops. Passau has experienced many floods. It was amazing to see the levels the water has reached in this community.

Called into Passau as part of a Viking River Cruise up the Danube (from Nuremberg - Budapest) which included a visit to the St Stephen's Cathedral. The architecture is amazing and the decoration inside is lavish and amongst the best I've ever seen. There is no fee just to enter and wander around the cathedral during standard operating hours but tickets can be purchased for the organ recitals. I believe this money goes towards the ongoing maintenance of this grand building. I was able to attend an organ recital (lasts approx 30 mins) as part of my Viking river cruise itiinerary, but its worth your while trying to pick up a ticket if you are planning a visit.On a previous visit (5 years ago) I was lucky enough to be passing through Passau when the boys choir were practising so enjoyed a (free) perfornance which was a totally overwhelming experience, and so good that I didn't want to leave!

This cathedral is very beautiful--definitely make a stop here. Also, if there is an organ concert, be sure to stay--very beautiful and impressive. Be sure to give yourself time to visit the rest of the town--another medieval German town--lovely!

This magnificent cathedral is the jewel in Passau's crown. The interior is a riot of baroque. The stucco work and frescoes are just breathtaking. At the west end is the largest church organ in the world. You must get a chance to hear it. There are numerous opportunities to do so. A gorgeous building.

St. Stephen's Cathedral is magnificent and if you have an opportunity to be there for the organ I would recommend you stay to enjoy. We were there a couple weeks before Christmas & I was rather disappointed there were no Christmas carols. To the couple who were sitting behind us & continued to talk through the entire concert (especially the woman) couldn't you have kept your mouth shut for 30 minutes? You knew how long the concert was, you paid to go inside & yet you refused to consider others around you with your incessant talking. Glad my husband finally asked you to be quite & when you got up & left you left the rest of us with about 2 minutes to enjoy the music without having to listen to you. Thank you for leaving.

Even though we arrived on a Sunday and they do not have the organ concert, we went to church to enjoy the full experience. I felt very welcomed and the people didn't seem to mind the tourist gawking at the ceiling.

This church boats the largest organ in the world with 17,000 pipes. Beautifully set in the main market square, it has a very tall spire. Built in the 14th-15th century in the Neo Gothic style the exterior belies the grandeur of the interior. When you step inside you are greeted with light coming through to every corner of the church illuminating the magnificent, very colourful and extremely ornate frescos. We visited just days before Christmas and the sound of the organ was stupendous. Definitely a must see.

Touted for its organ, the largest in Europe with more than 17,000 organ pipes, this cathedral has much more to offer. With a majestic profile, it sits on the high point of the city between the Danube and Inn rivers. It was completely rebuilt in 1662 after a fire destroyed the previous medieval basilica. The new church looks more Roman than German. The baroque style work with an octagonal dome and flanking towers was done by an Italian architect. The inside has a number of colorful frescos painted by an Italian painter.
