Zagreb Cathedral at Kaptol 31 lists Hermann Bollé as architect of its last reconstruction in the infobox. The article names no client. The infobox gives mid-13th century and 1880 to 1906, while the text says construction began around 1102 and finished in 1217, with a renovation from 1880 to 1902. It was consecrated in 1217 and heavily damaged in 1242.

The article describes a Romanesque original and a Gothic Revival rebuild in the 19th century. It uses stone, travertine replacement blocks, andesite portal columns, a copper roof and bronze clocks. The cathedral is 254 feet (77.55 m) long, 152 feet (46.2 m) wide and 356 feet (108.4 m) high, and it holds 5,000 people.

An earthquake in 1880 damaged it, and another in 2020 led to removal of the north spire on April 17, 2020. It is open for visitors while still under reconstruction.
