St. Stephen's Cathedral |
|
St. Stephen's Cathedral (German: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the
Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph
Cardinal Schönborn, OP. Its current Romanesque and Gothic form seen today,
situated at the heart of Vienna, Austria in the Stephansplatz, was largely
initiated by Rudolf IV and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the
first being a parish church consecrated in 1147. As the most important religious
building in Austria's capital, the cathedral has borne witness to many important
events in that nation's history and has, with its multi-colored tile roof,
become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.
