St Rupert's Church

Our hotel, apparently the oldest in Vienna, was just on the edge of the city centre, so only a couple of minutes to our first tourist spot, the church of St Rupert's. As often happens, we wasted a few minutes getting our bearings with the map. But once here it was quite a surprise to find such a medieval gem among the rest of Vienna's quite imposing architecture. The stained glass windows are apparently untouched in six hundred years. Inside it really did have the very simple architecture you might expect from the period. We saw nothing else like it for the rest of our day touring Vienna.
