Bozner Dom vs Ushiku Daibutsu

Informations

The cathedral Maria Himmelfahrt (German for the Assumption of Mary) is the parish church of the South Tyrolean capital Bozen and cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bozen-Brixen.

While the Bishop has lived in Bozen since 1964, the cathedra and the cathedral chapter stay in Brixen.



Maria Himmelfahrt is therefore with Brixen Cathedral co-cathedral of this diocese.
