There is also the Greek Church of the Holy Trinity at Fleischmarkt, just up the narrow passageway, past the Griechenbeisl restaurant. I recommend Benedikt's TourMyCountry travel blog for more information about both churches:

-> Greek-Orthodox Church "St. George"

  4. Now that is interesting Merisi .. I never knew that St George had a connection to Vienna ... I only really found out not long ago that he was actually Greek and belonged to the Roman Army .. !!

  8. Beautiful church. Lovely interpretation of the theme. We have a St George Greek Orthodox church right here in Schenectady but it isn't as beautiful as yours.
