here are 18 altars in the main part of the church, and more in the various chapels. The High Altar and the Wiener Neustdt Altar are the most famous. The first focal point of any visitor is the distant High Altar , built over seven years from 1641 to 1647 as part of the first refurbishment of the cathedral in the baroque style.
