Small chapel near the Nikolaitor of the same name in the Lainzer Tiergarten. It is one of the oldest buildings in Vienna and was built in the 13th century. mentioned. Stylistically reminiscent of a fortified church.

The St. Nicholas Chapel in the Lainz Tiergarten is a quiet, historic site in the heart of the Vienna Woods. The 12th-century Romanesque chapel is one of Vienna's oldest religious buildings and is idyllically situated on the nature trail near the Nikolaitor Gate. Surrounded by meadows and mature trees, it invites you to take a short rest and offers an atmospheric contrast to the wild nature all around. A place of peace and contemplation—and a worthwhile stop on any tour of the Tiergarten.
