Vienna, Wien, your guide to Vienna, Austria
St. Stephens Cathedral (Stefansdom) |
This Cathedral is Romanesque in origin. The construction began in the 12th century during the reign of Ottokar II of Bohemia. The church was later completely reconstructed in Gothic Style following the orders of Duke Rudolph IV of Habsburg.
This is a very busy street in Vienna. The Roten Turm street and Kärtner Strasse are two commercial streets, with many shops and restaurants.
This Cathedral is dedicated to the first martyr of Christendom: Saint Stephen (Stefan in German). The South Tower was completed in 1443 and the North one in 1579. The Baroque altarpieces were added in the 18th century.
After the World War II the Cathedral was reconstructed after being devastated by a fire.
