Monument to Johann Strauss

A bronze monument to the “Waltz King” Johann Strauss appeared in the Vienna City Park (Stadtpark) on June 26, 1921. It was installed on a marble base and originally had a gold coating, which was decided to be removed in 1935. The statue of the composer was left uncovered until 1991. In 2011, the Vienna authorities decided to begin serious restoration work - the gold covering was renewed, the marble parts of the monument were cleaned, and in the fall of 2011 the Strauss monument was reopened to the Viennese and guests of the Austrian capital.

St. Stephen's Cathedral

St. Stephen's Cathedral is the symbol of Vienna on Stephansplatz. A magnificent, unique, multifaceted temple like Cathedral first mentioned in the Viennese chronicles in 1221. They built it on a holy, “prayed” place. Back in the first half of the 12th century, there was a parish church here. The three-nave Romanesque basilica, named after St. Stephen (Stephen), began to be rebuilt in 1230. The architects planned to build a temple in the late Romanesque style, and most of the building was already completed when the fire happened. Restoration of the building began only at the beginning of the 14th century. The work was finally completed in 1340. The architecture of the temple remained Gothic, but the features of the building later changed during many reconstructions. Only in 1523, under Rudolph IV, the cathedral acquired the appearance that has survived to this day. The cathedral was built asymmetrically: the southern tower was much higher than the northern one. The height of the southern tower of the temple was 136.44 m. Today you can climb this tower to observation deck 343 steps lead up. The height of the North Tower is only 68.3 m. The structure was not completed for a number of reasons (it collapsed during construction). In the second half of the 16th century, the tower was crowned with a dome. The north tower serves as the cathedral's bell tower. The main bell on its belfry is the huge Pummerin - a giant weighing more than 21 tons, with a diameter of more than 3 meters. To be more precise, the tower is now decorated with New Pummerin. The old bell, cast in the 17th century from Turkish guns captured in battle, was destroyed in a fire at the end of World War II. The fragments were collected and a new bell was made at the bell factory in the city of St. Florian. Once again, Pummerin's voice gathers parishioners to the Cathedral on major church holidays.
