The Dominican Order, with the permission of Prince Leopold VI, appeared in Vienna in 1226. By 1237 a monastery with a Romanesque chapel was built. In 1283 the church was built in the Gothic style. Most of it was dismantled during the first Turkish invasion in 1529 and went to strengthen the city walls. In 1631-1634 a new baroque church was built. Construction and decoration of the facade and dome was carried out in 1666-1674. At that time it was the second largest church in Vienna (after St. Stephen's Cathedral).→
