"Franz von Assisi Kirche"

This church was build from 1898 to 1910
when Franz Josph I. had his golden anniversary.
For that anniversary there was a competition
and Victor Luntz who was the architect of this church won with his design.
Luigi Luccheni murdered the wife
of the emperor (Kaiserin Elisabeth) in 1898.
A gold mosaic inside remembers this tragedy.
