Also known as the University Church, this Roman Catholic Church was originally built in the 1620’s on the site of an earlier chapel, when the Jesuit College merged with the University of Vienna’s philosophy and theology faculty. It was restyled in the early 18th century by Andrea Pozzo and was rededicated to the Assumption of Mary. The relatively austere Baroque façade belies an ornate interior containing marble pillars, carved pews and gilding as well as ceiling frescoes in perspective, using illusionary techniques, and a magnificent trompe l’oeil dome.
