Austria - questions about vienna


Expert: Claire Symons - 2/13/2008

Question
what is the name of the oldest standing building in Austria and where is it located?

Answer
Althought I don't know exactly which building is the oldest, I do know that St. Stephens cathedral was built in the 12th century when Vienna was no more than a small town. The cathedral is in the center of the city and has a subway stop named for it just underneath the location. I know there are many other old buildings in the city, including one with a surviving fresco and a church built around 800ad. I apologize, but I do not know where that church is located.
