Augustinian Church, Gothic parish church in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
Description

History
The church was established in 1327 and underwent Gothic interior transformations during the Habsburg era. These changes over centuries reflect how the building evolved to meet the needs and aesthetic preferences of different periods.
