Seek out Otto Wagner's Kirche am Steinhof, a white marble art nouveau church on the Baumgartner Höhe. Admire its exterior, step inside for the Secession design, and enjoy the quiet grounds around it.
Full description
The Kirche am Steinhof sits within the Steinhofgründe, grounds selected for a psychiatric care facility, and was designed by Otto Wagner as a hospital oratory in Viennese Art Nouveau. Its white marble exterior stands on the Baumgartner Höhe in Vienna's 14th district, and reviewers praise it as especially beautiful from outside, set among natural surroundings.
Guests also describe the stillness of the setting as a draw in itself. Visits run about 30 minutes with little walking, though the church sits outside the central tourist core, so plan the journey to Penzing.
