Veszprém - St Michael's Cathedral

 
To the north of the square is the cathedral. It stands on the foundations of a bishop's church founded by King Stephen, first documented in 1001, which was often destroyed and rebuilt (for example, 1723 in Baroque style). During the last rebuilding in 1907/10 it was redesigned in Neo- Romanesque style. Some evidence of earlier styles remains, such as the Late Gothic choir from 1380/1400, the Gothic vaulting in the crypt and the tombstones of the bishops and queens interred here.

A stone balustrade surrounds the Baroque trinity column (1749/51) on the square in front of the cathedral.
