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.
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.
