The Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption also boasts the largest handmade stained glass window in a church in the world. While a German church used to hold this claim, its stained glass windows was sadly destroyed by bombing during World War II.
The lower half of this window depicts the Council of Ephesus, which met in A.D. 431. Below it are images of various saints.

Another feature of the cathedral is a massive pipe organ in one balcony. The organist was rehearsing some pieces for a mass while I was there.

That stained glass window is so impressive - and beautiful!
It must have taken hours to make that thing.
