St Stephen’s Cathedral Shielded Vienna’s Sacred Heart
In Vienna the Majestic St Stephen’s Cathedral and the Square of St Stephen form a sacred ground amid Nazi threats. The Gothic church, consecrated in 1147 after earlier fires, endured centuries of construction and wars. Its 450‑foot south tower began in 1359, housing a 20‑ton bell, while the pulpit from the 16th century showcases renowned Gothic carving. The cathedral stood as Vienna’s watchdog during sieges in 1683 and 1809, with lower gold‑braided guards and a fire watch in a tower room guarding the city’s safety. The site remains a symbol amid tensions of 1929 Austrian stamps.
