This church is the first in Vienna to feature a Baroque cupola.

Set back from the Graben, this small baroque church from the early 18th century is said to have been founded by Charlemagne in 800. In 1137, a new church was built for the Scottish abbey, which was rebuilt in the 14th century in a better orientation. In 1722, at the time of its consecration, it was the first in Vienna to have a baroque dome (frescoes of the Assumption). It is distinguished by its oval nave, a choir flanked by two small chapels and an apse that form a Greek cross.

Une superbe église aussi bien à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur, elle se trouve près de la Hofburg. Sa coupole est resplendissante et magnifiquement décorée.
All small church but magnificent baroque decoration inside.
When you are on the Graben, this is worth barely make this small visit a few metres away.
