by Jacobus Parisiensis · 1350
Minoritenplatz 2A, Austria
Minoritenkirche sits at Minoritenplatz 2A and was completed in 1350 to serve as a church built in French Gothic style and used as a mausoleum in the 14th and 15th centuries. The top of its belltower was damaged during the first Austro- Turkish war, rebuilt, then again destroyed again during the second Austro-Turkish war; the top was then replaced by a flat roof. The structure masters are unknown; however, it is commonly attributed to Jacobus Parisiensis, Fra Giacomo of Paris, who was confessor Duke Albrecht II. The Church is the subject of Adolf Hitler's most renowned work of art, a watercolor painted in 1910. Visiting hours are listed as: the novel Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut. Mon-Sun (8am-6pm).
