St John the Baptist is the parish of the village of Konigsbrunn am Wagram…read more The church sits on a hill slightly above the village. The site is older, but the present church dates largely from the 18th and particularly the early 19th centuries. The exterior is broadly classical, but has a slender tower topped with a tall pyramidal spire, covered with red tiles. The church has an aisleless nave with transepts and an apsidal sanctuary, and the interior is heavily decorated: the walls are painted to resemble stonework, but there is also extensive stencil patterning and painted panels depicting biblical scenes. An odd feature is the elborate and heavily gilded baroque pulpit, complete with sounding board, which can no longer be accessed for preaching (the staircase has been closed off). The church has a regular Sunday morning mass, and is part of a parish group with neighbouring Stetteldorf and Absdorf.

This is an original Josef Kornhäusl building and one of the very best examples remaining in this city showing off the genius of this Viennese Neo-classical/Biedermeier architect. The main auditorium is stunning with its oval design and multiple balconies. It also has great acoustics. There is an attractive community hall and dining room as well as an upstairs outdoor terrace where a Sukkah can be built. The Stadttempel is right in the middle of Vienna's Bermuda Triangle and coincidentally just around the corner from the oldest chuch in Vienna - Ruprectskirche. It is an important part of Vienna's history.

With this freedom he created this building in Jugendstil(Youth Style in German). Firstly I was in the mind, oh yes, it is fine and regularly pretty. When it smaller with its gold decoration, it would be much better. But then I realized it was built for mental patients! The too free pace and simple style are suitable for its customers. So why should we blame that this church? The surrounding of the church is quite quiet. Please be aware this church is not open for traveller buses.

Of mediaeval origin, the church possesses an astonishingly rich baroque interior from the early 18th century. The church is one of many in the area dating from the mediaeval period, but rebuilt extensively in the 18th century, after damage from the various wars in the region (most notably the 30 Years' War). The tower is the most prominent survivor of the original mediaeval church, with cusped gothic windows visible outside. The church was largely rebuilt in 1723, paid for by the local nobility, and gained its lavish baroque interior: the cream walls and ceilings have extensive stucco decoration, picked out in white, with a series of elaborate marble side altars. Most notable is the pulpit, a riot of marble and gold, with figures of saints, angels and cherubs. Indeed, there are cherubs everywhere. Notable fittings include the rather crude tub font, dated 1585, decorated with a simple arcade pattern of rounded arches; the baroque organ case from the 1723 rebuilding; and the carved wooden pews in the sanctuary, originally intended for the local nobility. There is a gallery on the north side of the sanctuary, so that the local lord could worship separately from the congregation, prior to the castle being povided with its own chapel. The church is the centre of a busy parish life; the adjacent parish centre has excellent facilities for hosting events.
