Osijek Co-cathedral

The Co-cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul stands 94 meters tall with a brick and stone construction featuring multiple towers and stained glass windows.

Construction of the religious complex began in 1894 under architects Franz Langenberg and Josef Schmalzhofer, reaching completion in 1900 as a Gothic Revival masterwork.

The cathedral walls and ceilings contain extensive frescoes painted between 1938 and 1942 by Croatian artist Mirko Rački, depicting biblical narratives.

The cathedral interior accommodates 3,000 people and includes five stone altars, with visitor access through a side entrance adjacent to the main portal.

Four bells weighing between 331 and 2665 kilograms ring from the cathedral tower, which required 3.5 million bricks during construction.
