DomQuartier Salzburg

One of the best places to visit in Salzburg. We spent a good couple of hours here. Beautiful chandlers , painting, jewled items. Curiosity cupboards. Love the architecture. The rooms are very big . We used our Salzburg cards.

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!

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.

We visited on a Sunday. This was a great day to be in Salzburg if you are NOT a shopper. Lots of shops closed, meaning it wasn’t very crowded. We were there in June. This place is definitely worth visiting. Very palatial, wonderful dispays, access to the Dom organ loft and adjacent terrace with wonderful views. We were practically the only ones there. Staff were very helpful as my wife had a knee injury and needed to use the lift which is not available to public without asking. They were fiery kind and helpful.

I didn’t visit this museum when I was in Salzburg for the first time and I can tell that it was a big mistake. This place definitely worths to visit. They structured the museum so well and it offers a lot to see. Also, you can see the Dom church from upstairs and some artefacts from the church.

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.

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.
