Unearth the Charm of Maria Am Gestade

Did you know that this church dates back to the 9th century? Maria Am Gestade has a rich historical tapestry woven through centuries of architectural transformation.

Originally a wooden church built by Danube boatsmen around 880, it was constructed in stone between 1394 and 1414. As one of Vienna's few surviving Gothic structures, it features a narrow nave with a subtle bend to accommodate the steep grounds. Notably, Napoleon used it to store weapons and horses in 1805, adding to its historical significance. The interior boasts a high vaulted Gothic ceiling adorned with intricate stained glass behind a winged Gothic altar.
