Art-deco church 'Am Steinhof'
|
|
Our excursion starts at „Steinhof“, a psychiatric hospital with exceptional architecture and a tragic history. During World War II, many members of oppressed minorities fell prey to the NS regime’s measures. A stirring memorial site situated in the hospitals expansive park is our 1st stop. We continue our walk and take time to admire a church designed by
jugendstil architect Otto Wagner. The church at Steinhof is obvious
proof of the cultural heyday of Vienna at the beginning of the 20th
century. Our last station is a look-out called “Jubiläumswarte“.
If the weather is nice we will be able to enjoy a perfect view as
far as mount Schneeberg, Lower Austria highest mountain. |
