The cathedral, devastated during World War II, was so essential to the Austrian identity that all Bundesländer (Regional States) contributed to its reconstruction. At one time, no less than three Norman churches stood here, of which merely the giant portal and the ‘Heidentürme’ (Heathen Towers) remain, which were integrated into the new cathedral.The Stephansdom is the most important gothic edifice in Austria. You can visit the Catacombs, where the entrails of the Habsburgs are kept, during one of the guided tours. Daily at 10, 11 and 11.30am, and at 2, 2.30, 3.30, 4 and 4.30pm.
