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 Minoritenkirche is a Gothic church belonging formerly to the Franciscan friars. The building was built from 1276 to 1350 but has many additions of the following centuries.
The medieval synagogue in Vienna is a 13th century Ashkenazi synagogue. Destroyed in 1421, its successor building, in the Gothic style, now serves as a museum.
