Church of Maria von Ziege

Mariahilfer Gurtel K, 1150 Wien, Austria

Description:

The Church of Maria von Siege ("Mary of Victory") was built in 1875 and combines several styles in the design: classicism, Gothic and Baroque.

The parish church was built under the direction of architect Friedrich Wilhelm Schmidt. Despite the mixture of styles in its design, the Gothic style prevails. The architectural structure is impressive in scale - the height of the dome of the church is 68 meters.

The name of the sanctuary comes from the name of the icon, which depicts the moment of the birth of Christ. This composition was present at the battle during the war, which lasted thirteen years (1618-1648). This battle was won in the name of Mary, which is why the church deserves to be named after the icon. The original is currently on display in the Roman church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, and a copy is in the Viennese church of Maria vom Siege.
