Nestled in Vienna’s 8th district, the Piarist Church charms with stunning Baroque frescoes, rococo altars, and a sunny café square perfect for unwinding.

Subtly unique layout, astonishingly beautiful frescos, and a deeply personal ambience. One of the most beautiful Christian churches I have ever visited out of the hundreds.

One of this squares to visit in Vienna. Good place. There is a nice cafe in the middle of it and they sometimes host live music concerts. Nice place to go to in the evening.

Beautiful church! It is unusual architectural masterpiece. Easy to miss it as it is hidden in silent place next to simple street. Fasade is as nice as interior with colourful fresco and multiple rococo altars. Reminds more central-planned ball hall in palace then typical church. It is mostly open but inside there's a gate so if you want to move around or sit in the bench you need to find out when there's a mass. For sure it is worth a visit!
Ps. be careful with beggars, I encounter very weird women who came inside the church 2 minutes after me and immediately started to be oppressive.

Lovely square with a beautiful church, and outdoor cafeteria with sun umbrellas, perfect setting for coffee brunch.
