About this place
St. Stephen's Cathedral, or Stephansdom, dominates the city skyline. While it is often associated with the tragic end of Mozart's life, for him, it was primarily the site of his greatest personal victory. On August 4, 1782, after months of bitter arguments with his domineering father and navigating the manipulative schemes of his future mother-in-law, Mozart married Constanze Weber in a quiet, deeply emotional ceremony inside these magnificent walls.
