Maria am Gestade (Mary at the Shore) is located at Salvatorgasse street and is one of Vienna's oldest churches and few remaining examples of Gothic style buildings from the Middle Ages. The churches history dates back to at least the 12th century while the present building was constructed between 1394-1414. During a recent visit, I unfortunately found the church closed to the public so was unable to enter and explore the inside. However, I did very much enjoy walking around the outside, taking in the original Gothic architecture of the building. Most notably for me were the porticos which are fenced but easy to view. These are decorated nicely with statue reliefs and fresco ornamentation. You can spot a few gargoyles as well on the side of the church building. If you step back across the street in front of the church, you can better view the church tower which rises 56 metre high and dates back to 1428. In the end, hopefully others will find the church open for visitation. If not, the exterior is worth a few minutes to enjoy if you are a fan of Gothic architecture. Note: There is a decent stone fountain called Hannakenbrunnen at the bottom of the staircase leading up to Maria Am Gestade. This is worth checking out as well if you enjoy viewing monuments during your travels.

An absolute beauty. I've walked past this church many times, always photographing the outside. Finally I was able to go inside to see its inner beauty. And what a beaute she was!

It's a beautiful church with a very good musical instrument (s)

Beautiful, quiet church that sheltered us late in the emergin evening during a cold rain. Apparently it's in the movie Before Sunset.

My personal favorite of churches in Vienna. Calm place and incredibly beautiful. Have a chance to hear an organ music!

Beautiful church worth visiting once in life. Church holds relics of saint.

Beautiful church inside and out. The detail inside and the stained glass Windows are amazing.

Absolutely stunning! Definitely go inside (not an obvious entrance on the side. It was gorgeous!

MG has a 5pm English mass so we found ourselves there on a Sunday evening during our stay in Vienna. We arrived early so we could explore the church. We were pleased to discover a reliquary of St Clement, the patron saint of Vienna. The community was welcoming and we were pleased to be able to enjoy the baptism of the newest member of the parish! The music was enjoyable as well. The hymnals are in English for the English mass :). The notes are the same though!

One of my favorite churches in Vienna - the altar is amazingly beautiful. Lovely, serene church in a nice neighborhood of Vienna.

Very nice place, with good thaurapautic environment. But the inside can accomodate only few people at high capacity. Very decorative internal design

One of the oldest in town

(Translated by Google) It was icy and I find it unbelievable that such a large, prosperous, splendid church cannot afford to heat a minimum for large Christmas officers. It is colder in the church than outside. I am embarrassed to be Austrian! (Original) Es war eisig une ich finde es unglaublich, dass eine so große gutgehende ,prachtvolle Kirche es sich nicht leisten kann für große Weihnachtsoffizien ein Minimum zu heizen. Es ist in der Kirche kälter als draußen. Es ist mir peinlich Österreicher zu sein.!

Little church without too many people on the morning. A nice place to discover next to the city center. I recommend to see it.

Very nice church and open to public... Definitely worth a visit

Very nice church from the inside and outside

Really peaceful place

Not a touristic place but very nice ambiente on surrounding

The oldest church of Vienna.

The oldest church of vienna. Very impressive decoration.

Very cute Catholic Church with wonderful early morning Masses

Absolute 'hidden' gem! A really beautiful and tranquil place. Possibly my favorite church in Vienna. It's not in the center of town, so there weren't too many visitors, which made it so peaceful and more spiritual. The architecture is beautiful and unique. Really worth a visit <3

Consecrated in 1414 this is the oldest church I have ever attended Mass at. Get there a little early to take some photos. The alter is so amazing.

(Translated by Google) Great church. (Original) Geweldige kerk.

Very peaceful and simple. One of the very old churches of Vienna

It was beautiful n serene n NOT crowded. Loved my morning visit.

Beautiful church definitely worth going in

Small church but looks nice ?

This church looks small.on the outside and is surprisingly large once you step inside. The unique construction of two levels with a couple of steps down, which separate the choir from the congregation make this another tucked away treasure.

The most beautiful church in Vienna, with incredible decor and calming atmosphere.

It's quiet and the church seems to be well maintained

A beautiful piece of art in this cathedral

Stunning

You must take a closer look inside - there is a museum dedicated to Saint Klemens Maria Hofbauer follow me on Instagram @howaboutvienna

Beautiful church still in use today. We went a lit candles. Very peaceful and serene. Lovely building.

Not much tourist walk here So if u want walking in silence U know where to go

A lovely Church in town centre which can be visited in peace, as it is not one of the main attractions but part of the beautiful city heritage.

(Translated by Google) An old and magnificent church ... A visit is recommended. (Mary at the Shore) is a Gothic church in Vienna, Austria. One of the oldest churches in the city - along with St. Peter's Church and St. Rupert's Church - is one of the few surviving examples of Gothic architecture in Vienna. Located in Salvatorgasse 12 near Innere Stadt, Donaukanal, the church is the Danube river traditionally used by sailors. The name reflects its former position on the Fluvial terrace of one branch of the Danube river before editing. Due to the stairs surrounding the church, it got its popular name Maria Stiegen. a Wikipedia (Original) Eski ve görkemli bir kilise... Ziyareti tavsiye edilir.

(Translated by Google) A real gem of the Viennese Catholic churches. This church is used today by the Polish parish in Vienna.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Très beau

(Translated by Google) Impression that there is a little outside of the center of the city and the surrounding area is at a stretch. In addition, the road is a little narrow from the big street. The church was almost empty and when I went there were only two other people. A quiet church that is not a tourist destination is recommended. (Original) 街の中心から少し外れたところにあり周辺は一気に人通りが少なくなる印象。 また道も大きい通りから少し入り細く入り組んだところにあります。 教会はほとんど人がおらず私が行った時は他に２名程しかいませんでした。 観光地になっていない静かな教会、おすすめです。
