    The Kirche Am Hof also known as the Church of the Nine Choirs of Angels can be found at Am Hof Square. This is a decent church to visit if you plan to spend time in this area of Vienna. Church history dates back to the 14th century. The attractive exterior and Baroque style facade was the work of Italian architect Carlo Carlone in 1662. Within the church, you will find an attractive entrance hall, nave with Gothic features and an elegant altar. The pulpit and side ornately decorated side altars are worth seeing. Do make sure to see the Rococo style organ which dates back to 1763 as well. Give it 10-15 minutes to explore the interior of the church and then you can make way to other intended sightseeing in the area. I'd also suggest spending a few minutes to enjoy the interesting Mariensäule (Marian Column) just outside the church as well.

    Kirche am Hof is translated into English as the Church of the Nine Choirs of Angles. Sounds incredibly awesome just by the name. It’s a centrepiece on Am Hof and a significant historical site. Chiefly, it is the church where a royal herald declared the end of the Holy Roman Empire, which had been ruled by the Habsburgs. The dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire eventually resulted in the birth of the German Empire and the Austrian empire. At that point, Emperor Franz I of Austria begin his rule as Emperor of the Austrian Empire. It’s all politics to be honest.

    (Translated by Google) This fabulous church located in the historic center of Vienna with a beautiful overlooking the homonymous square, was built at the end of 1300 and then restored following a more baroque style after a devastating fire in 1600 that seriously damaged. Today it looks really beautiful and is a monument worth visiting. (Original) Questa favolosa chiesa situata nel centro storico di Vienna con un bellissimo affaccio sulla omonima piazza, fu edificata alla fine del 1300 e poi ristrutturata seguendo uno stile più barocco dopo un devastante incendio nel 1600 che la danneggiò gravemente. Oggi appare veramente stupenda ed è un monumento che vale la pena di visitare.

    (Translated by Google) Super beautiful church. Much nicer than the famous St. Stephans Dom.

    (Translated by Google) Passeggiate italiane Route (b): New era and Baroque: Church on the courtyard / Karlskirche / Heiligenkreuzerhof in Vienna 1662 was commissioned by Eleonora Gonzaga to plans by the Italian architect Carlo Antonio Carlone (* Scaria CO 1635-1708 in the abbey of St. Nikola in Passau) an early Baroque facade to the built by the Carmelite Romanesque court orchestra (1386-1403), later the Jesuit church (1554) at the court. The church was presented with remarkable altars (stonework by master Johann Lorentisch from Kaisersteinbruch). As convent church of a mendicant order, she did not receive a bell tower. The church now serves as the church of the Croatian community in Vienna. Carlo Antonio Carlone was a relative of the most famous Carlo Innocenzo Carlone (usually referred to as Carlo Carlone, Scaria 1686-ibid 1775): a painter and fresco of the Lombard artistic family Carlone and pioneer of the Rococo with its colorfully moving frescoes and altarpieces. After he had created many works in Germany and Austria, he returned to Italy, where he was still active in old age. In Vienna he realized u.a. the ceiling fresco in the stairwell of the Palais Daun-Kinsky; the fresco "Allegory of Glory" in the Great Hall of the Upper Belvedere; some frescoes in the castle chapel. Other Italian artists active in Vienna were: Lorenzo Mattielli (or Lorenzo Matielli) (Vicenza, 1687-Dresden 1748). The Italian sculptor is one of the most important Italian Baroque artists. He worked in Vienna from 1711 for the court, the Viennese aristocracy and the church and worked u.a. at the Vienna Hofburg, at the arsenal of the fire department at Am Hof ​​and in the monasteries Melk, Klosterneuburg and Mariazell. In 1714 he was appointed Imperial Court sculptor. From him in the Vienna Karlskirche the pediment of St. Charles Borromeo and: religion, compassion, penitence and prayer on the Attica, as well as the angel figures on the drum, the crowning eagle of the great pillars, the angels of the high altar and at the St. Michael's Church the angel fall group , Giovanni Giuliani (1664 Venice): since 1690 in Austria, he introduced the Italian, baroque sculpture in Vienna, artistically impoverished by the Second Viennese Turks siege. Financial problems forced him in 1711 to make a lifelong commitment as a family with the pen Heiligenkreuz; but he was able to lead a small sculpture workshop. Until his death in 1744 he designed the reconstruction of the monastery Heiligenkreuz and the Heiligenkreuzerhof in Vienna, but also other churches, for example. in Gaaden. Giuliani died in Heiligenkreuz, where he was buried in the collegiate church like Martino Altomonte (Naples 1657-Heiligenkreuz 1745), the co-founder of the independent Baroque painting in today's Austrian region. (Original) Passeggiate italiane Route (b): Neue Ära und Barock: Kirche am Hof / Karlskirche / Heiligenkreuzerhof in Wien 1662 wurde im Auftrag von Eleonora Gonzaga nach Plänen des italienischen Baumeisters Carlo Antonio Carlone (* Scaria CO um 1635-1708 im Stift St. Nikola in Passau) eine früh barocke Fassade zu der von den Karmelitern erbauten romanischen Hofkapelle (1386 bis 1403), später den Jesuiten (1554) übergebenen Kirche am Hof. Die Kirche wurde mit bemerkenswerter Altane vorgelegt (Steinmetzarbeiten von Meister Johann Lorentisch aus Kaisersteinbruch). Als Konventskirche eines Bettelordens erhielt sie keinen Glockenturm. Die Kirche dient heute als Gotteshaus der kroatischen Gemeinschaft in Wien. Carlo Antonio Carlone war Verwandter des berühmtesten Carlo Innocenzo Carlone (meistens nur als Carlo Carlone genannt; Scaria 1686-ebenda 1775): ein Maler und Freskant aus der lombardischen Künstlerfamilie Carlone und Wegbereiter des Rokoko mit seinen farbig bewegten Fresken und Altarbildern. Nachdem er in Deutschland und Österreich viele Werke geschaffen hatte, kehrte er nach Italien zurück, wo er noch bis ins hohe Alter aktiv war. In Wien realisierte er u.a. das Deckenfresko im Stiegenhaus des Palais Daun-Kinsky; das Fresko "Allegorie des Ruhmes" im großen Saal des Oberen Belvedere; einige Fresken in der Schlosskapelle. Andere in Wien aktiven italienischen Künstler waren: Lorenzo Mattielli (oder Lorenzo Matielli) (Vicenza, 1687-Dresden 1748). Der italienischer Bildhauer, zählt zu den bedeutendsten italienischen barocken Künstlern. Er arbeitete in Wien ab 1711 für den Hof, den Wiener Hochadel und die Kirche und wirkte u.a. an der Wiener Hofburg, am Zeughaus der Feuerwehr am Platz Am Hof und in den Klöstern Melk, Klosterneuburg und Mariazell mit. 1714 wurde er zum Kaiserlichen Hofbildhauer ernannt. Von ihm sind bei der Wiener Karlskirche die Giebelfigur des Hl. Karl Borromäus und: Religion, Barmherzigkeit, Bußfertigkeit und Gebetseifer auf der Attika, ebenso die Engelsfiguren am Tambour, die bekrönenden Adler der großen Säulen, die Engel des Hochaltares und an der Michaelerkirche die Engelssturzgruppe. Giovanni Giuliani (1664 Venedig): seit 1690 in Österreich, er führte die italienische, barocke Plastik in das durch die Zweite Wiener Türkenbelagerung künstlerisch verarmte Wien ein. Finanzielle Probleme zwangen ihn 1711 eine lebenslange Bindung als Familiar mit dem Stift Heiligenkreuz einzugehen; er konnte aber eine kleine Bildhauer-Werkstatt führen. Bis zu seinem Tod 1744 gestaltete er den Umbau des Stiftes Heiligenkreuz sowie des Heiligenkreuzerhofs in Wien, aber auch anderer Kirchen z.B. in Gaaden. Gestorben ist Giuliani in Heiligenkreuz, wo er in der Stiftskirche wie Martino Altomonte (Neapel 1657-Heiligenkreuz 1745), der Mit-Begründer der selbständigen Barockmalerei im heutigen österreichischen Raum, beigesetzt wurde.

    (Translated by Google) The church at the court; "Church of the nine choirs of angels" in Vienna, was built from 1386 to 1403. The church was ceded to Croatian Catholics by the Archdiocese of Vienna in early May 1969. Since then it has been the spiritual center of the Croatian Catholic Mission in Vienna, where all Croatian Catholics from 150 different parishes from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina gather. THE HISTORY OF THE CROATIAN CATHOLIC MISSION The founder of the Croatian Catholic Mission (Hrvatska katolička misija) is Dr. Mrs. Mirko Covic, who came to Vienna from Linz in 1955 and looked after the Croatians in Austria, immediately after Austria had freed itself from the Russian administrative zone. In 1960 he founded the Croatian pastoral office, which was later renamed the "Croatian Catholic Mission". When the number of Croatian believers increased significantly in 1969, thanks to the persistence of the Franciscans and Croatian believers, the Croatian Catholic Mission received this church for use. In 1973 the then Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Franz König, gave the Croatian Catholic Mission the status of a personal parish for all Croatian Catholics in the Archdiocese of Vienna. The number of the faithful grew from year to year and on Sundays and public holidays a large number of believers always gathered in the church at the court, so that this was known and appreciated throughout Austria. This is probably the reason that Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, now emeritus. visited this church, ceded to Croatians, with their visit to Austria. (Original) Die Kirche am Hof; »Kirche zu den neun Chören der Engel« in Wien, wurde von 1386 bis 1403 ​​errichtet. Die Kirche wurde Anfang Mai 1969 von der Wiener Erzdiözese an kroatische Katholiken abgetreten. Seitdem ist sie das geistige Zentrum der kroatischen katholischen Mission in Wien, in der sich besammeln alle kroatischen Katholiken aus 150 verschiedenen Pfarreien aus Kroatien und Bosnien und Herzegowina. DIE GESCHICHTE DER KROATISCHEN KATHOLISCHEN MISSION Der Gründer der kroatischen katholischen Mission (Hrvatska katolička misija) ist Dr. Fr. Mirko Covic, der 1955 aus Linz nach Wien kam und sich um die Kroaten in Österreich kümmerte, unmittelbar nach dem sich Österreich von der russischen Verwaltungszone befreit hatte. Im Jahr 1960. gründete er das kroatische Pastoralamt, das später in »Kroatische katholische Mission« umbenannt wurde. Als 1969 die Zahl der kroatischen Gläubigen erheblich zunahm, Dank der Beharrlichkeit der Franziskaner und der kroatischen Gläubigen erhielt die Kroatische Katholische Mission diese Kirche zur Nutzung. 1973 verlieh der damalige Erzbischof von Wien, Kardinal Franz König, der kroatischen katholischen Mission den Status einer persönlichen Pfarre für alle kroatischen Katholiken in der Erzdiözese Wien. Die Zahl der Gläubigen wuchs von Jahr zu Jahr und an Sonn- und Feiertagen vesammelte sich immer eine große Zahl von Gläubigen in der Kirche Am Hof, so dass dies Österreichweit bekannt und geschätzt wurde. Wahrscheinlich ist das der Grund, daß der Papst Johannes Paul II. und der, jetzt emeritierte, Papst Benedikt XVI. diese, an Kroaten abgetretene Kirche Am Hof, ​​mit ihrem Besuch in Österreich besuchten.

    (Translated by Google) Catholic Church of the Croatian Parish in Vienna. Also known as church to the choirs of angels. The church is unjustly one of the most popular tourist churches, although it is well worth seeing and has a very variable history since 1386. (Original) Katholische Kirche der kroatischen Gemeinde in Wien. Auch bekannt als Kirche zu den Chören der Engel. Die Kirche gehört zu Unrecht nicht zu den bekanntesten Kirchen unter den Touristen, obwohl sie wirklich sehenswert ist und seit 1386 auf eine sehr wechselhafte Geschichte zurück blicken kann.
