Cathedral of Junk

The Cathedral of Junk is a large assemblage sculpture built in a private South Austin backyard by artist Vince Hannemann; it is composed of thousands of found objects stacked and wired into a multi-room structure. The site has been photographed and written about widely online for its dense, whimsical reuse of materials and outsider-art character. Visits are by appointment or on limited open days because the work sits on private property. The structure is a documented local landmark often cited in coverage of Austin's offbeat attractions.
