St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna

Located in the heart of a baroque style district, St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna stands out by creating a mix of architectures due to its gothic style. It is thanks to this style that it does not go unnoticed. The cathedral was built in 1137, but it was destroyed several times because of the many wars and battles. Its highest spire, 136 meters, makes the Cathedral the highest religious monument in Vienna. Also, it is in this cathedral that the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart got married with his wife, Constanze Weber, in 1782.
