Why go
Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach designed the church as a university landmark, using curving forms and a luminous interior rather than dense decoration. The building changes the scale of the market square outside. Step in when access permits, then compare its controlled white geometry with the darker medieval fabric of the Franciscan Church nearby.
What to look for
- A sweeping convex facade faces University Square.
- White walls and a high dome create an unusually bright Baroque interior.
Useful to know
- Visit quietly outside services and pair it with the nearby Franciscan Church for contrast.
