Our purpose in coming to Grinzing was to have dinner at one of the Heurigen. We chose this one because many of the Heurigen had not yet opened for the summer season. I would suggest visiting during the summer when there is outdoor seating.
The church was built between 1417 and 1426 by twelve local villagers. It allowed the villagers to worship locally instead of walking to Heiligenstadt which is about 3 km away.
Grinzing is a charming village located on the edge of Vienna. It is best known for its vineyards and traditional wine taverns called Heurigen.
It was built in the 13th century by the Franciscan (Minorite) Order. There is a life-sized mosaic copy of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper on the church's northern wall.
Kaiserschmarrn is a pancake served hot with fruit compotes. It is a popular desert in Austria. Demel is famous for its Kaiserschmarrn. We had to queue for it.
The present Baroque church was built in1701 on the site of an earlier medieval church. Peterskirche was the first large domed Baroque church in Vienna and its design was inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
