Wien Museum Virgilkapelle

Nice place, but lot of illegal migrants around. Be aware.

Unexpected well done museum at the metro station Stephansplatz at the center of Vienna. It costs 5€ including the audio guide in German and in English. The stuff at the entrance are very friendly and helpful. There is a little shop also where you can buy souvenirs from the museum and from the city. In the station there are a lot of food facilities.

Nice discovery while leaving the train station. Absolute gem hidden under the ground with medieval walls. Only 5 euros for entrance - and the price is absolutely worth it.

An amazing archaeological discovery and an awesome space. Must visit.

A small, hidden, but exceptionally rare museum where you can briefly walk inside the well preserved interior of a 12th century chapel. There is an exhibition room with a few medieval items. Combined with informative screens you can learn a lot about medieval Vienna in less tha 20-30 minutes. Addionately a clearly enthusiast staff member answered questions related to Vienna's history and recommended other historic sites. Would highly recommended it to anyone with an interest in history. It might not be the "regular" tourist cup of tea due to the small size of the museum. The entrance is next to the U1 Subway underground.

Very small museum of a 13th century chapel tucked away in a metro station. The audio guide is exceptionally good here. This place is usually quite empty, so you'll have time and space enough to explore and learn more about this hidden jewel.

Historical and beautiful church in Downtown Vienna

Chapel of St. Virgil (Virgilkapelle) is finally open to the public since last December 2015. It used to be kept behind a large window for many many years but thankfully the restoration and the interpretation of the chapel is complete and now everybody can experience it from the chapel floor level. The audio guide is controlled on a tablet which shows photos, drawings etc. The museum is very informative and you can spend over an hour at this attraction. The entrance is fairly cheap and presently on the first Sunday of every month it is for free of charge.

I positively like this place - it's an oasis of peace and quiet right in Vienna's busy centre - the exhibition about life in medieval Vienna is small, but exquisite, I'd definitely recommend it if you're interested in History. Also, I'm still fascinated by the fact that the impressions made by the formwork boards in 13th century (!) are still clearly visible (I was perfectly sure that it was modern concrete until I learned that this kind of technology was already used for mortar work 800 years ago).

Worth going. An amazing middle age underground chapel accidentally found during the subway development. Well preserved and well introduced by the audio guide.

We came across this exhibit by accident during a 2-day visit to Vienna in July 2016. As a mediaevalist and singer, I found this crypt a welcome addition to the Hapsburg history which is so much of Vienna's tourism. A naive visitor would find less of interest.
The presentation of the whole space was striking, with an entrance down the spiral stairways, and structural and historical details on the iPad guides.
The associated display of mediaeval artifacts was an unexpected bonus for us. My main complaint would be that the lighting of the exhibits is not as friendly as it could be for viewing fine detail (we are mediaevalists, remember).
If this sort of thing works for you, also see the Roemer Museum in Hoher Markt, not very far away, which has exhibits of the Roman fort which stood there in times past.
St Virgils Chapel was a highlight of our visit to Vienna. Worth 5 euros entry to us - we paid more for less, elsewhere in Vienna.

It’s only 5 euros. It’s a very small museum but the area when you walk down the steps is very peaceful and quiet. Nice serene ambiance.

A beautiful place to visit if you are interested in church history. The chapel is small, but well preserved with an interesting decorations.

Impressive medieval chapel space with plenty of remaining mysteries as to its use. Excellent audioguide.

What a hidden gem 📍 Worth visit ! Free entry first Sunday of the month
