Historic Churches of Vienna

Vienna’s skyline is defined by a diverse collection of religious landmarks spanning centuries of architectural evolution. This selection includes the Gothic heights of Maria am Gestade and the Votive Church, the opulent Baroque interiors of the Karlskirche and Peterskirche, and the imperial history of the Augustinian Church. Beyond the city center, Otto Wagner’s Art Nouveau Church of St. Leopold and the concrete, Brutalist blocks of the Wotruba Church demonstrate the city’s bold transition into modern design.
