M	M S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The 3 stars reflect the plainness of the church rather than an indication of value of visit. As it was Sunday afternoon you could still smell the incense, added to the atmosphere. Useful 1 euro information machine which fills the information gap.

S	Sarah Bisley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Deeply spiritual Church steeped in tradition (and uplifting music, as circumstances allow!), yet alive to the world of today
B	BradJill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the historic churches that I enjoy visiting in Vienna is Augustinerkirche (Augustinian Church) located along Augustinerstrasse at the Hapsburg Palace. Augustinerkirche is the Imperial Church of the Hapsburg. Its history reaches back to the 14h-century, the church was the location of royal weddings during previous centuries, It is also the location of the Herzgruft (Heart Crypt) behind the beautiful Loreto Chapel. Unfortunately, this is off limits for visitors. While there is little to see of the church from the outside, the interior can quickly be appreciated for its Gothic characteristics. The nave is narrow, tall and with vaulted ceiling. There is a series of attractive chandeliers lining the main hall, leading to a decorative and attractive wooden alter in front of the church. Amongst other highlights of Augustinerkirche, I've always enjoyed viewing Canova's Cenotaph for Archduchess Maria Christina. This is an exquisite sculptural arrangement that is very enjoyable to look at. It is a masterpiece. Note: Visitors during High Mass can also be treated to excellent choir performances each Sunday. In the end, Augustinerkirche is a rather small church but one that is quite impressive for those with interesting in history an architecture.

T	Thea on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is really impressive, thanks to its massive architecture and its marble-like walls and columns, that make the building look optically much higher. One of the main reasons why you should visit this church is the funerary monument for Maria Christina of Austria, a beautiful masterpiece of Canova, so meaningful and aesthetically pleasing, and so realistic too, thanks to Canova's talent.
