Dominican monastery, Vienna, Dominican monastery in Inner Stadt, Vienna, Austria.
The Dominican monastery is a religious community in Vienna's Inner Stadt with a church, residential quarters, and multiple chapels. Inside are red-marble altars and ceiling paintings showing religious scenes.
The monastery was founded in 1237 under Duke Leopold VI and became a center for Dominican teaching. After fires and the 1529 siege, it was rebuilt and continued to change over the centuries.
The monastery hosts lectures, exhibitions, and concerts that keep it alive as a place for theological study and learning. Its spaces serve the Dominican community's ongoing religious and scholarly work.
The monastery sits near Stephansplatz and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. Guided tours are available to learn about the building's design and the community living there.
The ceiling paintings were created in 1675 by Matthias Rauchmiller and show scenes from the life of Mary. His style drew inspiration from Peter Paul Rubens and makes them stand out as remarkable works.
