Full Description
The Minoritenkirche, a Gothic church in Vienna's centre
The Minoritenkirche (Minorite Church) on Minoritenplatz is one of the few Gothic churches in the centre of Vienna. It was founded by Minorite friars in the thirteenth century and its present Gothic form comes mostly from the fourteenth century. Since the eighteenth century it has served the Italian congregation of the city, and it holds a large mosaic copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper.
For visitors, the church is a real historic landmark and not only a concert room, so the evening combines a Minorite Church concert with a look at one of Vienna's most atmospheric medieval interiors. It is a good fit for anyone searching for a classical concert in a church in Vienna.
Acoustics and seat categories
Tall stone vaults give the room a natural reverberation that flatters strings, choirs and organ-like sustained notes. Seats are unnumbered, but staff greet you at the entrance under the arcade of the church and guide you to seats in your category. Admission opens 30 minutes before the concert starts, so there is no need to arrive much earlier.
Categories run by distance and view. Superior covers the first two rows in the centre; Category 1 covers rows 3 to 8 in the middle and rows 1 and 2 at the side; Category 2 covers rows 9 to 15 in the middle; Category 3 covers the back middle rows and some side rows; Category 4 is at the back with a restricted view. The seating plan is shown in the photos on this page.
The music: Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and seasonal programmes
The church hosts chamber orchestras, string quartets and soloists. Programmes change often and include Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Mozart and Beethoven evenings, and special Easter, Advent, Christmas and New Year concerts, so the Vienna classical concert you attend depends on your date. The programme for each day is shown in the booking panel and the photos.
A concert lasts about 70 minutes, which leaves the rest of the evening free for dinner in the old town. If you ask when to go, autumn and winter evenings feel especially fitting for candle-toned stone interiors, but the concerts run through the year.
Getting there and visiting the surroundings
The church stands on Minoritenplatz, a quiet square near the Hofburg palace, the Burgtheater, the Volksgarten and the Parliament. The nearest metro station is Herrengasse on line U3, and the entrance to the concert room is under the arcade of the church.
Inside, please do not smoke, use flash or record video, and keep food and drinks outside. Both the hall and the walk from the city centre are easy, so you can combine the visit with an afternoon in the Hofburg or a stroll through the first district before you take your seat.
