St Stephen's Cathedral is one of the landmarks of Vienna spotted from afar with its brightly colored roof tiles. The key highlight of the church is Steffl's Watch Room, about 343 steps from the ground offering an enthralling view, and the massive Pummerin Bell in the North Tower.
Standing tall towards Graben's eastern end is a beautiful historic building of St Stephen's Cathedral, a Gothic structure and the cathedral church of the archbishopric since 1722. Adorned with brightly coloured roof tiles, the place houses a unique magnum opus of baroque design along with intricately done altar and ceilings. The original church building was started in 12th century AD and was finished in year 1433. Renovation was done after the fire destroyed the entire structure by the end of WWII. One can still witness the remains of the original church building in form of massive gate and the Heathen Towers (HeidentÙrme).
