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 Church of the Holy Trinity and
-> Greek-Orthodox Church "St. George"

A lovely set of photos - love the frieze
ReplyDeleteLovely old church and terrific captures as always, Merisi!! Hope you've had a good week and enjoy an even better weekend with lots of sunshine!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful architecture. I really like the shot of the window.
ReplyDeleteNow 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 .. !!
ReplyDeleteMerisi, today I did get over to Park Avenue, and have posted a tulip-filled blog dedicated to you. xo
ReplyDeleteWonderful images and a very nice website too!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
