A striking monument of Gothic architecture of the 19th century. Has the most typical elements for this style: openwork decorative patterns that create an airy image, arrow-shaped window spans and arches, high spiers of the main towers. The temple is built of white sandstone, so the building often requires renovation. The church appeared in gratitude to God from Emperor Franz Joseph.

The Votivkirche is truly a sight to behold! Even though I only saw it from the outside, its stunning architecture left us in awe. A must-see landmark that showcases the beauty of Vienna.

Tony,
The Votive Church is a must visit location.
An assassination attempt of an emperor of Austria failed. So the emperor's brother initiated a campaign to build this Church.
The gothic architecture is simply mesmerizing and the Church is imposing.

I was unfortunate enough to visit the Church while it was in renovation. So I didn't have access to the whole location. I still enjoyed my visit.

I was so sad to see all the business going inside this church. Remember the words of Jesus who said " these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade".

Votivkirche was built in the second half of the 19th century in neo-gothic style. It was meant to be a votive offering after the attempted assassination of Emperor Franz Joseph in 1853.
