My next trip is already booked. In December I'll travel to Vienna and I'll have the opportunity to see this church. 3 months to go!!

Like many other cities, Vienna also has a church dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, who is called Heiliger Franz von Assisi in the German language. The church is one of the most beautiful churches in Vienna and from a distance it looks more like a fairytale castle. Alternative name for the church is Kaiser-Jubiläums-Kirche (Emperor’s Anniversary Church), as it was built on the occasion of Emperor Franz Josef I.’s 50th anniversary on the Austro-Hungarian throne (the anniversary was in 1898, the church was built between the years 1898 and 1910). The architect was Victor Luntz. - in: http://www.wienvienna.com/vienna-st-francis-of-assisi-church-picture/
