Visiting St. Michael's Church in Vienna

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

St. Michael's Church in Vienna is one of the oldest in the city, and it dates from the mid-1200. It is built in the Romanesque style and next to the imperial court buildings. The church has death masks of Mozart on the entrance, and this is where his unfinished music was played upon his death. The funeral service was held here. There are some old wall paintings here that look medieval in style. The church is free to visit.
