St Jacob Cathedral
The Pfarrgasse, lying to the right of the Goldenes Dachl, leads north to the Domplatz, in which stands the St. Jacob Cathedral (Dom zu St. Jacob; formerly the Church of St James, raised to the status of cathedral in 1964). The huge two-towered front of the Parish Cathedral St. Jacob dominates the Cathedral square at the northwestern side of the Royal Court. St. Jacob Cathedral has an imposing twin-towered west front and a high dome over the choir. St. Jacob Cathedral in Innsbruck was built in 1718 with design of the Baroque architect Johann Jakob Herkommer and restored after the heavy damage of the Second World War. In the northern aisle can be seen the imposing monument, designed by Hubert Gerhart, honoring Archduke Maximilian, Grand Master of the Teutonic Order who died in 1618. The most recent renovation dates back to the years 1992 and 1993. Entrance to the St. Jacob Cathedral is free but visits are prohibited during Masses.
