Dominican Church, Early baroque church in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Dominican Church is a baroque house of worship in Vienna's old town featuring an octagonal dome and a Roman baroque facade. The interior space is defined by these architectural elements and displays the characteristic style of the period.
Emperor Ferdinand II commissioned Italian architect Jacopo Tencala to design this church in 1631, and it has shaped the area ever since. The building rose during a period of major transformation in Vienna's urban landscape.
The church displays altar paintings by Karl Rösner and Leopold Kupelwieser, artists who shaped religious imagery in Vienna during the 19th century. These works remain central to how visitors experience the interior and reflect the artistic traditions rooted in this place.
The church is located at Salzstrasse 10 and opens for visitors during regular hours. Plan time to explore the interior spaces and observe the architectural details at a relaxed pace.
A modern Foucault pendulum hangs inside and swings between four rectangular mirrors suspended by a steel cable. This scientific instrument offers visitors a surprising contrast to the historic surroundings.
