Church of Maria am Gestade in Vienna: photos, reviews

About

The Catholic Church "Maria am Gestade" was opened in 1414 and is located in the northern part of Vienna. It is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Austria. The church received the name "Maria on the Shore", because it was built on the bank of a branch of the Danube, which is now the Danube Canal. The Gothic church has absolutely smooth walls, devoid of decorations, and an exquisite carved bell tower. It also has a tower 56 meters high, built between 1419-1428, whose windows contain fragments of medieval stained glass. Nowadays, the church can only be visited during worship services.

Piękny i niezwykle fotogeniczny gotycki kościół z interesującym ołtarzem i ciekawym układem wnętrza

We were on our way from the beautiful Votive Church to Stephen's Square and its magnificent cathedral when we discovered this church. It's smaller, but just as beautiful. And as always, I recommend you go inside and admire its beauty. It's definitely worth the detour. In short, beautiful and out of the paths, try to make some time for it. Take a look at the photos.

A hidden gem for the Gothic enthusiasts. Located quietly in between buildings but grand when looked at from the front; this church holds it's grace as you climb it's stairs. The interior of this church felt like no other, rather small and captivating but still unique and detailed. It hold the title as being one of my favorite churches in the city.
