Maria am Gestade (Austrian German pronunciation: [maˈriːa am ɡɛˈʃtaːdɛ]; "Mary at the Riverbank") is a Gothic church in Vienna, Austria.

The name reflects the former location on the Fluvial terrace of an arm of the Danube river, prior to its regulation.Due to the stairs surrounding the church it got the popular name Maria Stiegen.

The ownership of the land appears obscure, variously passing into the hands of the Diocese of Passau in Bavaria, the nearby Schottenstift, and Viennese families.

In 1409, the church became a more permanent part of the Passau diocese, giving its name to the surrounding precinct (Passauer Platz) and remained an enclave when the Archdiocese of Vienna was established in 1469.

On the main portal on the west facade, canopies crown reliefs of the two Saint Johns (Baptist and Evangelist) from about 1410, in a style also seen at Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral and a range of sculptures and mosaic decoration, which date from the 20th century.

The Virgin's partial disengagement from the wall and the spatial independence of the gestures are considered to make this an important transitional piece of the High Gothic.

[2] The wooden structure was affixed on the huge medieval pillar between the nave and the choir with a bridge connecting it to the door that was cut in the northern wall.
