DomQuartier Salzburg

Visited on 9th December and this is probably the best value experience we have found over the last 9 months of travelling. The inclusion of historical palatial buildings, significant artwork, items of significance from the church, access to view the historical church from the upper level adjacent to the pipe organ, and some museum collections. It is all very well maintained, pristine and tidy. There are also several locations where you have views over the marketplace where the Christmas Stalls are situated. You could easily spend two hours or more reviewing it all.

This place is definitely worth a visit. Very palatial, wonderful exhibitions, access to the attic of the Dome organ and the adjacent terrace with a beautiful view. A very interesting museum, with centuries-old exhibits. You can see the representative chambers of the archbishop, an art gallery and works of sacred art. The most interesting thing for me was the opportunity to admire the cathedral’s interior from above, from the organ gallery.

This place is a treasure for anyone who loves art and history. The state halls are beautiful, the architecture is amazing, and the paintings really draw you in. The best part was the showcase of Italian artists, which made the visit even more special. Totally worth checking out if you find yourself in Salzburg!

This is one of the most memorable place we have been to during our Australia trip this time. We really enjoyed the history of the city and greatness of many buildings. This area is definitely one of the best.

Priceless with amazing pieces. You need a full week to enjoy the masterpieces. Reminded me of Vatican museum with the advantage of no queue. You can buy Nespresso coffee and enjoy that in the balcony.

Over 400 years ago, the Salzburg prince-archbishops began to transform the town into an Italian-style Baroque gem. They created a masterpiece of urban design, which is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. The prince-archbishops’ absolutist rule claimed control over both “heavenly and earthly” matters. The building complex consisting of Residenz and Cathedral was the outward expression of this universal spiritual and secular power. In 1803, secularisation closed the connecting doors. Installation of the DomQuartier restored the original architectural unity of the Cathedral and Residenz precinct, also including the Benedictine monastery of St Peter’s and thus creating an internationally unique museum project.

The establishment is aesthetically pleasing, featuring an extensive collection of artwork and historical ecclesiastical artifacts. While it may not elicit an overwhelming sense of awe, it is certainly worth a visit, especially for those in possession of the Salzburg card. However, I must admit that I did not experience any particularly remarkable or extraordinary moments during my visit.

Exhibits works by famous painters from the 16th - 18th centuries. A museum with a complex structure consisting of several buildings, including the ‘Residenz Palace’ and the ‘Residenz Gallery’ or so located in Residezplatz. The outdoor terrace not only offers a panoramic view of Residenzplatz, but is also connected to Salzburg Cathedral, making it a great place to visit together.

Surprisingly good sequence of museums for a region with limited history. We visited the DomQuartier on a Wednesday morning. The museums were decently busy, but there was room to breathe in each exhibit hall. The museum sequence begins with the state rooms which are in good condition with beautiful decorations on the ceilings. The audio guide provides a wealth of information pertaining to every room. The collections related to the two churches have a decent amount of material, but nothing particularly exceptional. The museum also affords you a view from the position of the organist of the Salzburg Cathedral. The view is fantastic. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the DomQuartier and would recommend a visit if you have two days in Salzburg.
