St. Michael's Cathedral, Veszprém, Gothic cathedral in Veszprém, Hungary

The three-aisled cathedral features twin western towers, neo-Gothic windows, buttresses, and a flat wooden coffered ceiling within its cruciform layout.

Archaeological evidence indicates a church existed on this site in 1001, with the current structure rebuilt after a fire in 1380.

The cathedral served as a musical center in the 18th and 19th centuries, presenting compositions by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven shortly after their premieres.

The cathedral stands on Castle Hill in Szentháromság Square, housing a large Baroque crypt beneath the main nave for clergy interments.

The cathedral received relics of Queen Gisela, wife of King Saint Stephen, from Niedernburg Abbey in 1993.
