Walking Sebastian - Tour Guide (16 months ago)
The wedding of the famous couple - Princess Sisi and Emperor Francis Joseph I - took place in this church. If this wedding took place today, not only the invited guests would watch it, but thanks to television cameras, viewers all over the world could watch the entire ceremony. Subsequently, photographs and discussions about the ceremony, the wedding guests, the groom, and especially the bride and her wedding dress appeared in the press. But 200 years ago, everything was different. The Hofburg Palace, the residence of the Habsburgs in Vienna, was connected by a closed passage (today it no longer exists) to the Augustinian Church. František Jozef walked through this corridor directly with his bride Sisi to the church, where only selected invited guests were allowed to participate in the wedding ceremony. No representatives of the press or illustrators recorded this historical moment in the form of a detailed article or image. And so, as true as it sounds, there is certainly no surviving evidence of what kind of wedding dress Sisi was wearing that day…

The stunning Augusitnerkirche is part of the Hofburg complex. It’s simplicity makes it somehow even better than some other baroque neighbors. It is rich in history and meaning— especially for catholic royalists. This is where you can also see/hear the famous Viennese boys choir. Spare a few minutes for a visit. It’s free. Or even attend Sunday mass.

Sunday Mass at 11 am accompanied by symphony orchestra, choirs and organ music. Its amazing. Its a real pleasure. Better arrive earlier because 10 min before the Mass all places were busy. People stay in the aisles. Mass was 1,5 hours. Admission is free but donation is very welcome. Dont forget take a look on cenotaph of Archduchess Maria Christina

Really beautiful church that is gothic in design but simpler and brighter than many similar churches. It’s easy to miss so it was very quiet on the afternoon we stopped by.
