Passau, Germany - St. Stephen's Cathedral Exterior
St. Stephen's Cathedral (Dom St. Stephan) is a baroque church from 1688 and is the seat of the German Bishop of Passau and the main church of his diocese. Click here for more info on the church on wikipedia. I am going to use the info to point out a few things.

The statue of Mary and Jesus.
I recall that this is St. Stephen.
The main front door.
And a welcome sign with the rules.
