The tomb of Friedrich III is another highlight inside of Stephansdom - you may see it at the very end of the right nave of the cathedral, and you may get rather close to it ONLY, when you attend the guided tour ! The tomb dates back to the 15th century and was made of red marble : a large ornate sarcophage with a fence around of it. Take a closer look at this fence, and you will see various animal-sculptures crawling around the sarcophage. Emperor Friedrich III donated the Wiener Neustaedter Altar and so he was also buried inside the cathedral.
A picture of that tomb looks best , when you DON'T flash !!
see my lousy 3rd picture ! Leave a Comment

Jesuitenkirche was built by the italian architect Andrea Pozzo, who made also the great frescos at the ceiling of the church. That ceiling gives you the impression of seeing domes and other architecture, that does not exist in reality. The baroque church dates back to 1703 and it is totally over-loaded with great golden ornaments and precious marble. On both sides each of the side-altars have 2 solid columns made of colored marble and each of them has also a different design - see my 1st picture.
Also the organ looks really beautiful and includes a clock !

Stiftskirche is quite a small church in Mariahilferstrasse and it was built by an unknown architect in 1739 . From outside the church does not look very special, But when you take a look inside, you will be surprised, because it has some interesting Rokkoko-works of art and decorations. Opposite of Stiftskirche, in Mariahilferstrasse 45, Ferdinand Raimund - one of Austria's most famous playwriters - was born in 1790 .
Stiftskirche is open daily
between 07.30a.m. and 06.00p.m.
saturday untill 11.00p.m. and sunday untill 09.30p.m. Leave a Comment

 Peterskirche (The Church
of Saint Peter) by Fam.Rauca,
4 more photos
The church is at the place, at which in the 4.Jh. Vienna's first church stood.
The construction works of the more present-day Peter church began in the year 1703 and completed in 1733.
This church was begun on initiative of Emperor Leopold I., after plans of Gabriele Montani and was completed by Johann Lukas Hildebrandt.
From Graben, the church looks very impressively.
The church has a big dome, and two corner piles that make the monument very imposing.

Take a closer look at the gothic hand-rail leading up to the famous pulpit of Stephansdom : You will see that hundreds of small animals - frogs, amphibians, snakes and other nasty creatures are crawling up that handrail, BUT at the top-end there is a dog, yelling at them and pushing them back down again... This dog is the symbol for Dominican monks preaching the words of god against the evil, and canis in latin is the dog, so the expression Dominicaner / dominicans means "cani domini" the "dogs of god"
It is a pity, that it is really hard to get a perfect picture of that handrail and the dog on top of it. Even with flash it did not work out well !! ;-(( Leave a Comment

"Zahnweh-Herrgott" is a very popular sculpture, next to the entrance to the Krypta of Stephansdom. It gives you the feeling, that Jesus has aching teeth. my 2nd pic shows the entrance-gate to the vestry - at the right nave of the church - has a beautiful door-knocker and lovely decorations.
My 3rd picture shows Master Pilgram - the architect of the Stephansdom - under the organ-seat at the left nave of the church.
The 4th picture is Katharinenkapelle with a beautiful altar and a baptismal font with ornate gothic woodcarvings.
My 5h picture : the main nave of Stephansdom with the famous gothic pulpit on the left and various small baroque side-altars next to the gothic columns. Leave a Comment
