Votivkirche

"Votivkirche, or the Votive Church, is a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture located on Rooseveltplatz in Vienna. Completed in 1879, it was built as a votive offering in gratitude for the survival of Emperor Franz Joseph I after an assassination attempt. The church is renowned for its stunning facade, intricate stained glass windows, and impressive twin spires. Take time to admire the detailed stained glass windows and the beautiful altar. If you’re visiting in the winter, the church is especially picturesque with its dramatic Gothic architecture highlighted against a snowy backdrop. Votivkirche is one of the few churches in Vienna built in the Gothic Revival style, a departure from the predominantly Baroque architecture of the city. The church’s elaborate design and historical significance make it a standout example of 19th-century religious architecture."

"This stunning Gothic-style cathedral is located in the heart of Vienna and still overlooked by many. The church was designed by architect Heinrich von Ferstel and took over two decades to complete, finished in 1879.
