Kirche Am Hof


~The Kirche Am Hof looks like a renaissance style church. It has flowing line and not much ornamentation. There are 14 statues which adorn the church at either the top or inlayed in the center. The windows are simple and rectangular, and the color of the church is white. The center is pushed back and has a balcony. This is the only church I had seen with a balcony. Atop the center is a peak, but it is thick and on each side there are pillar designs. There are three statues on the top of the churches peak, two of which are angels. In the design are three arches, one for the left, right, and center of the church. The door is very simple and had no ornamentation on or above it, just a plain stained glass window. The window is easy to miss and almost the same color as the door. This church was right next to the first Parliament building in the center of Vienna. I had passed it many times, because it was right up the street behind what our group labeled the “antique Christmas market”.
