    Stephansdom is the dominant and everyone can recognize this city according it. Really beuatiful cathedral with the possibility to lift you up to the peak of it just to see a view of Vienna center for 4 Euro. The cathedral itself is large but pictures u should see wherever makes it bigger. Optical trick :) I like its windows but expected more decoration even if it is Gothic building.

    St. Stephen's is hands down the largest cathedral I have ever seen. It is impossible to get the whole structure into on picture frame. The interior is dark and very gothic with impressive stained glass windows. It was way too dark inside to even think about a photo without the use of a tripod.

    Stephansdom is also called " Steffel " by the local people of Vienna. Already in medieval times it was situated in the very centre of town, overlooking all other houses. And from the beginning it had a small chamber - the so called " Turmstube " - wher a fireguard was watching out for fires all day and night

    The Steffel has a great gothic interior and especially famous is a small sculpture with a head looking out of a window right beneath the pulpit : " Der Fenstergucker " Its a self-portrait of the architect of St.Stephens

    The red-marble sepulcher of Emperor Frederick III, sculpted from 1467 to 1513 by Niclas Gerhaert van Leyden; the pulpit, a work from 1514-15 by Anton Pilgram (who put his own relief portrait underneath it as his signature); the Altarpiece of Wiener Neustadt (Wiener Neust?dter Altar), a Gothic winged altar from 1447 - and the tomb of Prince Eugene of Savoy, dating from 1754. I was upstairs by the way. 343 steps :-) Some pics are in travelogue.

    St. Stephen´s Cathedral (Stephansdom)´s history began in 1140, when the Bishop of Passau ordered the construction of a new parish church outside the existing city walls. The Romanesque structure was dedicated to St.Stephen and consecrated in 1147. The church underwent almost complete renovation in the middle of the 13th century. There would be soooooo much to tell, you have to go there and see it with your own eyes! :-)

    Stephansdom : Interior
    by coceng

    St. Stephen's Cathedral or also known as Stephansdom, is the best illustration of late Austrian Gothic. The interior walls & pillars are decorated with fine statues & side altars. A magnificent gothic piece is the stone pulpit, designed by Anton Pilgram in 1515. The photo that I took inside the church is a bit dark because I didn't want to use the flash (we are prohibited actually). Still, you probably could see the interior if you open your eyes a bit wider. Sorry.

    This is another must see building/place if you are in Vienna. Apart from visiting Schonbrunn Palace, I had the chance to see St. Stephen's Cathedral. The latticework spire of this magnificent cathedral rises high above the city & it's a landmark over Vienna that we couldn't miss. It is a unique structure, with its vast roof of glittering polychrome tiles. This Cathedral lies in the heart of this Baroque City.

    Visit St. Stephan's cathedral. At the basement, for 3 Euros, you can see these mass graves, with the bones piled up high on top of one another... The basement tour is set at different times, please check ahead before you go.. No photos allowed either... The rooftop is all mosaic...

    Be sure to look up! A lot of the architectural detail is on the upper facades of buildings. This is a detail from the side of Stephansdom.
