Vienna Peace Pagoda

Vienna Peace Pagoda, Buddhist stupa near Danube River, Vienna, Austria

Vienna Peace Pagoda is a white Buddhist stupa standing on the Danube River bank, characterized by a central dome with four smaller surrounding stupas. This structure combines traditional Buddhist architectural forms with contemporary construction materials.

Built between 1982 and 1983 to plans by architect Franz Richard Schnabel, the stupa was erected by Japanese monks of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji order. Its opening ceremony took place on 25 September 1983 in the presence of the order's founder, Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), and representatives of various Buddhist traditions.

The pagoda hosts the Vesakh festival of Vienna's Buddhist community and an annual commemoration of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. A Buddhist temple nearby is led by the Japanese monk Gyosei Masunaga. The seven reliefs show scenes from Siddhartha Gautama's life, from birth and awakening to teaching and death.

The stupa stands on the Danube bank and is open to the public; a Buddhist temple nearby is led by the Japanese monk Gyosei Masunaga. It hosts the Vesakh festival of Vienna's Buddhist community and a commemoration on the anniversary of the Nagasaki atomic bombing.

This pagoda is part of a global network of around 80 peace pagodas built by the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order. The network connects locations around the world that serve the same spiritual purpose of promoting peace.
