Ganz imposant von außen, von innen jedoch nicht ganz so anschaulich. Je nachdem wann man kommt, ist keine Besichtigung möglich (z.B. vor Orgelkonzerten). Die Oberer Pfarre, 5 Minuten entfernt, ist auf jeden Fall sehenswerter.

Imposante Kirche. Allerdings für eine katholische Kirche in Bayern ziemlich trist.

Imponerende domkirke. Fire tårne!! Fantastisk kirkerum med mange altre specielt højalteret er fantastisk. Man kan komme ned i krypten. Der er et museum tilknyttet kirken.
