Franciscan Church, Baroque religious complex in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Franciscan Church combines Renaissance exterior design with a Baroque interior, featuring multiple chapels and ecclesiastical decorations throughout its structure.
The Franciscans received the Gothic church of St. Jerome in 1589 through Archduke Ernst, leading to construction efforts that concluded with consecration in 1611.
The church holds regular masses and maintains religious traditions while housing the oldest organ in Vienna, constructed by Johann Wockerl in 1642.
Visitors can access the church through its Baroque porch entrance, with restoration work continuing to preserve the structure for future generations.
The high altar, created by Andrea Pozzo in 1707, presents an elaborate representation of the Virgin Mary within the church sanctuary.
