John of Nepomuk chapel

The John of Nepomuk Chapel features architectural elements that combine Neo-Romanesque and Secessionist designs, constructed with symmetrical proportions and detailed stonework.

Otto Wagner designed this religious structure in 1895, and the construction works concluded with an official inauguration ceremony in 1898.

The chapel stands as a memorial to Saint John of Nepomuk, a Catholic figure who became the patron saint of bridges after his death in Vltava River.

The religious structure sits near tram lines 2 and 5 at the Am Tabor station, making it accessible for visitors exploring Vienna's architectural heritage.

The chapel demonstrates Otto Wagner's architectural innovation through its combination of traditional religious elements with modern structural approaches of the late 1800s.
