Stephansdom
The construction works of Vienna’s landmark lasted several centuries. You can go up the North Tower by elevator and enjoy a marvelous view of the town. Some of the outstanding parts of the church are: the Lady altar “Maria Poetsch”, the high altar ( lapidation of St. Stephen ), the pulpit by Anton Pilgram chiseled out of 7 blocks of stone, the sepulcher of Emperor Frederick III in the right aisle, in the left aisle the Altarpiece of Wiener Neustadt ( Wiener Neustaedter Altar ) dating back to 1447 and the Tirana Chapel with the tomb of Prince Eugen of Savoy, the organ over the Giant Gate, the small 18th-century Baroque altars at the pillars, the ledgers and the memorial plaques at the side walls commemorating the people buried in the former church cemetery.
