Pfarrkirche Hll. Johannes der Täufer und Johannes Evangelista

The Pongauer Dom features two identical 62-meter-high towers and contains three naves within its 60-meter-long and 30-meter-wide stone structure.

The first written record of the church dates to 924, with construction of the current building starting in 1857 after a major fire destroyed the previous structure.

The main altar from 1881 displays statues of Saint Joseph and John the Baptist, with a stained glass window depicting Christ as the Savior of the World.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and stands at coordinates 47.3486° N and 13.2047° E in the center of Sankt Johann im Pongau.

The church towers house a significant colony of Greater Mouse-eared Bats, with up to 850 females counted in the maternity roost since 1998.
