St. Francis of Assisi Church, Vienna

[1] It is located on the Mexikoplatz in Vienna's Second District, Leopoldstadt,[2] and is administered by the Order of the Holy Trinity.

The construction of the church celebrated the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria.

The four-bay, basilica-like brick building was intended as a garrison church; designed in the Rhenish-Romanesque style, its three red-tiled towers are visible several kilometres away.

The Art Nouveau-style Elisabethkapelle (Elizabeth Chapel) is located on the left of the church next to the choir.

[4] Because of the Red Cross's large donation of 348,348 crowns, the chapel was decorated with gold mosaics rather than frescoes, and the walls were covered in marble rather than stucco.
