Snow White Temple
Votivkirche - Church of the Promise - a neo-Gothic building on the Ringstraß e. It was built in gratitude for the failed assassination attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph. There is also a museum in the church, more precisely in the former court chapel. The most outstanding exhibit is the "Antwerp Altar", which is considered the most significant surviving work of art of this genre. Work on it began in 1460 in Brussels and ended some time later in Antwerp.→

Wonderful looking church
Great looking church! The Votivkirche is often referred to as a cathedral, which is not entirely true. A cathedral is a special status that is given to a Catholic church as the main one in a city, or as a place of service for a bishop or archbishop. There is only one cathedral in Vienna, and this is St. Stephen's Cathedral, which is visited by almost all tour groups. Votivkirche - this word is translated as “votive church”, that is, a special temple that is built as a thank you for some kind of happy deliverance or as a request to God.→

An excellent example of neo-Gothic.
This church is located somewhat far from the tourist routes, there are no crowds of tourists, busy streets and cars. But it is definitely worth a visit: not only is it very beautiful on the outside and can easily compete with the Vienna City Hall, but there are also beautiful stained-glass windows inside. Admission, by the way, is free. I really love gothic cathedrals, they have some kind of special grandeur. The graceful stone lace of the temple, an interesting architectural solution, magnificent interior decoration - this is definitely worth a look.→
