Maltese Church, Vienna

Church of Saint John the Baptist. In the Nave there are over 40 original escutcheons of important Knights of the Order of St. John of Malta; we missed them. Tip: READ The Great Siege of Malta (Maltese: L-Assedju l-Kbir) occurred in 1565 when the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer the island of Malta, then held by the Knights Hospitaller. The siege lasted nearly four months, from 18 May to 13 September 1565.

A beautiful church near the city center. It was very quiet inside despite the season and the fact there are many tourists and locals outside its doors hustling about. Included are some photos of the Christmas decor, which I found very tasteful.

Never been inside here due to not knowing of it’s existence until now! I must have walked straight past as it has been surrounded by progress. I need to visit! God bless the Knights of St John and their endeavours to help the needy for 2000 years. St John’s Ambulance still work hard.

Church of Malta at the heart of Vienna; lovely place.

A spectacular oasis of peace in the heart of Vienna.

Officially called the Church of St. John the Baptist, this little church is under the protection of and maintained by the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta (a crusader era order founded in 1048 and are also know as The Knights of Malta), the order has been on that site since 1217. It is a quiet place to stop and take a moment out of your day to say "thank you" to God for all of our many blessings. One of my favorite places to visit while in Vienna.

I never expected such a beautiful tiny chapel within a busy commercial road.once inside,the outside noise is only marginally to hear. An astonishing place to be in.

Beautiful small Maltese church. Did not attand any services.

Quiet hideaway in the city center. Worth a visit!

Very special small church. Loved the energy. Very few tourists. A great place when you want a quiet place to pray.

Very beautiful .Amazing....I visited in 1991 but I still remember amazing work on colorful glass windows

Small and beautiful. Good place to sit a while and collect your thoughts in the middle of the buzzling city.

Мальтийская церковь названа по имени одноименного ордена, которому она и принадлежит. Располагается в первом центральном районе Вены на Кертнерштрассе. В непосредственной близости от церкви находится Австрийский Великий приорат Мальтийского ордена. Первая церковь на этом месте была основана в 1217 году и именовалась "Дом магистра ордена святого Иоанна". Нынешний храм был построен в середине XV века. Перестроен в барочном стиле в В XVIII веке. Алтарь церкви был создан в 1730 году архитектором Иоганном Георгом Шмидтом, в 1857 году были добавлены витражи.

Wunderschöne kleine Kirche in der Kärntnerstrasse. Wenn man an ihr vorbei geht, würde man sie übersehen , weil sie zwischen zwei Häusern ist, glaube ist in Wien die einzige nicht freistehende Kirche, mir fällt jetzt keine ein. Ist ein schöner Ort der Ruhe und der Besinnung.
