The Dominican Church is Vienna's finest Early Baroque Church.
Although the outside of the church is not even worth to make a photograph of, the interiors are of an utmost beauty.
The first Dominican Church was built in 1237, but during the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529, most of the Gothic Dominican church was demolished to get stones for supporting and fixing the city walls.
