It was a long way to today's church building and the impressive traces of this history are still visible today. The Gothic basilica from the 13th century is an impressive place of worship whose history stretches back 1800 years. Unique excavations and finds from Roman times and early Christianity below the basilica reveal the legacy of a history in which not only Roman governors and commanders play a role, but also St. Florian and St. Severin, who left their mark on this place.
