The Karlskirche is a Roman Catholic church built in the first half of the 18th century. Located on Karlsplatz near the city center, it is one of the most important baroque churches in the northern Alps and is a listed historical monument.
You can not think of Vienna without thinking of the St. Stephen Cathedral. This notorious religious building is well recognizable for its four towers, the tallest of which - south tower- measures 136.44 meters. 343 steps bring visitors to the tower room, from which there is a breathtaking view across Vienna. Besides the beautiful altars and side chapels, the cathedral is also home to a vast treasury, which includes relics decorated with gold and precious stones, liturgical books and vestments.
The Hofburg Chapel is the oldest and main chapel of the Hofburg Palace and the chapel of the Habsburg House. A Romanesque chapel has existed since the 13th century and was extended in Gothic style from 1447 to 1449. Maria Theresa (1745-1765) ordered a Baroque reconstruction of the chapel, but the chapel regained its Gothic appearance in 1802. The chapel occasionally houses the famous Viennese Court Music Orchestra.
The Michaelerkirche (St Michael's Church) is one of the oldest churches in Vienna. It was built in the 13th century. It is a rare example of a Romanesque church in Vienna, although with baroque and classical additions.
