Medieval Synagogue in Vienna

The Stadttempel is the main synagogue in Vienna. It was built between 1823 and 1826 behind a trivial five-storey apartment building. According to the regulations in force at the time, non-Catholic places of worship had to be "hidden" and not visible directly from the street. On the night of the November 1938 pogrom, the main synagogue was the only one to escape destruction because of its narrow residential area. However, the interior was devastated and misused as a collective camp for Viennese Jews. A commemorative plaque in the entrance hall was unveiled in September 1988.

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.

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.
