The Peace Pagoda Vienna is a Buddhist stupa located on the Danube in Vienna. It is one of around 80 peace pagodas that exist worldwide (as of 2011).
The stupa was built between 1982 and 1983 according to plans by the architect Franz Richard Schnabel and was carried out by Japanese monks of the Nipponzan Myōhōji order. The opening ceremony took place on September 25, 1983, in the presence of the founder of the Nipponzan Myōhōji Order Nichidatsu Fujii (藤井日達; 1885–1985) as well as representatives of various Buddhist orders and traditions.
The stupa is around 26 meters high. The central Buddha figure represents Buddha Shakyamuni, the 7 reliefs depict scenes from the life of the religion's founder Siddhartha Gautama - from birth, to awakening, to teaching, to death.
The Peace Pagoda is open to the public and hosts regular events such as the Vesakh festival of the Buddhist Community of Vienna and the memorial ceremony to mark the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
There is also a Buddhist temple near the stupa, led by the Japanese monk Gyosei Masunaga.
