    Votive Church, Vienna
    The Viennese Votive Church, a Roman Catholic church located next to the ring road in the Alsergrund district in the immediate vicinity of the main building of the University of Vienna, is one of the most important neo-Gothic sacred buildings in the world. The Ringstrasse Cathedral, built by the architect Heinrich Ferstel, dates back to the assassination attempt on the young Emperor Franz Joseph I on February 18, 1853 by the journeyman tailor János Libényi. With a height of 99 meters, the Votivkirche is the second highest church in Vienna.

    The Viennese Votive Church is one of the most important neo-Gothic sacred buildings in the world. Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian (later Emperor of Mexico) had donations collected for its construction in order to commemorate the rescue of his brother Emperor Franz Josef in a failed assassination attempt in 1856 with the church.
    It is the second largest church in Vienna after St. Stephen's Cathedral.
