Brigittenau, Administrative district in Vienna, Austria
Brigittenau is a district of Vienna situated between the Danube River and Danube Canal, consisting of residential buildings, shops, and public spaces. The area is shaped by water, with channels and waterways running through much of it.
The district grew from a chapel built in the mid-17th century that gave the area its name. In 1900, it became a separate administrative district, splitting from the neighboring region.
The district takes its name from a chapel dedicated to a saint, and this religious heritage shapes the appearance of several locations today. You can still notice traces of this past in older buildings and in how people use the public spaces.
The district is well served by public transport, with two metro lines and several tram routes connecting different parts. Walking or using public transport is the best way to explore the various neighborhoods.
A tall building stands out prominently in the district's skyline and is visible from many points around the area. This striking structure creates an unexpected contrast with the more traditional character of the neighborhood.
