Step into the Augustinian Church, the Habsburgs' court parish in the heart of Vienna. Walk the Gothic nave, admire the choir and apse, and find the urns holding royal hearts.
Full description
Augustinerkirche was the parish church of the Habsburg court, and its Gothic interior carries that imperial role in its details. Visitors single out the choir, the apse and the sculpted angel-and-lion group along the nave, and the church is also associated with royal weddings, including that of Marie Antoinette by proxy.
Its urns hold the hearts of Habsburg rulers. Entry is free, and a visit of around 20 minutes suits the quiet, peaceful atmosphere that reviewers describe.
It sits in the Innere Stadt within easy reach of other central sights.
