Maria am Gestade

Maria am Gestade is a Gothic church in Vienna, Austria. One of the oldest churches in the city — along with St. Rupert's Church and St. Stephens Cathedral — it is one of the few surviving examples of Gothic architecture in Vienna. Located in the Innere Stadt at Salvatorgasse 12, near the Donaukanal, the church was traditionally used by sailors on the Danube river. The name reflects the former location on the Fluvial terrace of an arm of the Danube river, prior to its regulation.
