Franciscan church and monastery in Vienna

The foundation stone for the church was laid on August 14, 1603. On December 8, 1607, the friars solemnly moved into the unfinished church. On December 11, 1611, the church was consecrated by the papal legate Cardinal Franz Prince Dietrichstein.

 

The church and its tower were not completed until 1614, when Father Bonaventura Daumius († 1619) laid the foundation stone for the monastery on August 11, 1614. The house was designed for 200 brothers. The construction was completed by Abraham Mall and Peter Centner in 1621. A small hospital with its own chapel was also built in 1630.
