Nikolaikapelle, Medieval chapel in Hietzing, Austria
The Nikolaikapelle stands on the eastern slope of Nikolaiberg at 268 meters elevation, featuring a rectangular base with three large windows and bluish-gray plaster.
First documented in 1321, this chapel from the 12th century served as part of a fortified settlement and provided protection for travelers crossing the Wienfluss river.
The building changed its dedication from Saint Nicholas to Saint Eustachius in 1837, reflecting its new role within the Lainzer Tiergarten hunting grounds.
Located near the Nikolaitor entrance of Lainzer Tiergarten, the chapel remains closed to visitors except during the annual Saint Eustachius service on September 20.
The chapel survived two planned demolitions: first during the Turkish invasions and later during the Josephinian secularization when Princess Leopoldine of Liechtenstein intervened.
