Vienna Is Full Of Surprises

One sunny day I was just walking over the bridge across the Danube. Then I casually raised my eyes and saw this beauty!

I have never seen it before, so it was such a nice surprise! Afterwards, I started to google about what place I have just found! It was St. Francis of Assisi Church (or Kaiserjubiläumskirche) and I now would like to share my findings with you!

As I have already said, this church is located on the banks of Danube river. I believe, it is a spectacular decoration of the Mexikoplatz in Vienna’s Second district. Historically, St. Francis of Assisi Church was built in 1900 in honor of the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph’s reign. Honestly, I didn’t decide to look inside, but what I saw outside completely satisfied me.

The building itself is a Romanesque Revival architecture, and it looks spectacular with red tiled roof in contrast to the grey walls. It is one of the largest church in Vienna, but it is probably  emptiest one, as you can hardly meet tourists there.

I hope for someone I also make a discovery of this incredible place!

Best Wishes,
