  • This sandstone church with its ornate façade is part of the grand Ringstrasse. After Franz Joseph had survived a knife attack by the Hungarian tailor Johann Libenyi in 1853, his brother Maximilian raised funds to build this church in gratitude. Many of the building’s side chapels are dedicated to military heroes, among them Niklaus von Salm who commanded the troops in the Turkish Siege of 1529. There are services in English on Sundays (see p48).
