The cathedral near the mausoleum of Ferdinand II, built between 1438 and 1464 by order of Frederick III, is one of the finer buildings in Graz. The cathedral is a typical Gothic building. The precious cultural relics in the church are the reliquary boxes placed on both sides of the altar. The outside of the box is inlaid with verses carved with ivory. This box originally belonged to Princess Paul Gonzalo, who married the Leohard family in Brook Castle (near Linz) in eastern Tyrol, Austria in 1477. of the Catholic Church, and later this box was used to preserve the ashes and holy bones of believers who devoted themselves to the doctrine. History of the Cathedral: The Cathedral became important during the residence of Archduke Charles II in Graz, who also called in the Jesuits to balance the expansion of Protestantism. In the two hundred years since then, the emperor of the cathedral has been controlled by the Jesuits, and most of the important interior decorations were completed during this period. In the early 18th century, the interior of the cathedral was almost completely renovated into Baroque style, except for its own architectural structure. After Pope Clement XIV disbanded the Jesuit Society in 1773, the original parish church and the Jesuit church in the cathedral finally evolved into the cathedral today.
