St. Francis of Assisi Church — Attraction in Vienna

Lovely and best view from Donau side. Medieval architecture and built between 1898-1910.

The construction of the church celebrated the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria.[3] A competition was held to select the design and was won by architect Victor Luntz.
