    Holy Cross Seminary Church, Linz
    The Roman Catholic Seminary Church (former Deutschordenskirche) in Linz.
    In order to be able to found a branch of the Teutonic Order in Linz, the Archbishop of Salzburg, Johann Ernst von Thun, donated 30,000 guilders. Franz Anton von Harrach, his successor as archbishop, completed the foundation and in 1711 acquired a small country estate from Franz Anton von Khevenhüller for the purchase price of 17,000 guilders. The brother of the founder, Johann Josef Philipp Graf Harrach, was appointed the first commander. This also received those from Friesach and Laibach for the Linz Command. The country seat was converted into a future building by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. In addition, a church, a chaplain, an officers' house and stables were built. The garden was designed by Hildebrandt and Johann Michael Prunner.
    Johann Josef Philipp von Harrach bequeathed extensive funds to the coming one in his will. Nevertheless, the seat of the Teutonic Order was not able to establish itself. After the property had been leased to a Countess Sprinzenstein in 1796, the Bishop of Linz Joseph Anton Gall acquired the property on August 31, 1804 from private funds in order to found a seminary there.
    In 2020, Bishop Manfred Scheuer celebrated the Easter services, which had to be held in camera due to the COVID-19 pandemic, not in Linz Cathedral but in the seminary church, from which they were broadcast live.
    The Romanian Orthodox community of Linz also celebrates their services in the seminary church.
