O trase

From the Marian church, the route leads to St Catherine’s Chapel, viewed from the threshold. It then continues to the Great Tower and its painted staircase.

The finale is the Chapel of the Holy Cross, once the treasury of imperial jewels. The full programme also includes galleries, the former sacristy, the bridge between the towers, the lapidarium and Josef Mocker’s study. These entries present selected interiors in visiting order; the upper viewing floors belong to another programme.
