Graz Cathedral ( German: Grazer Dom), also called St. Giles' Cathedral ( German: Dom St. Ägidius), is the cathedral church in the Austrian city of Graz, dedicated to Saint Giles. It is the seat of the bishop of the Steiermark diocese from 1786, called the Diocese of Graz-Seckau.

The church was built as church of the Court (hofkirche) in 1438-62 by Friederick III in the Gothic architecture [1] and later (1577-1773) officiated by the Jesuits that made some alterations in Baroque style. Nearby is Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II. [2]
