Description

The first episode of this tour takes a lap around the outside of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
You’ll witness the structure's architectural evolution, decode the enigmatic symbols embedded in and around the church's main portal, find the insignia of the Austrian Resistance Movement, see the cathedral’s scars from World War II, hear the legend of the shorter North Tower, learn how to seek asylum inside the church, get the gory details on Vienna's two Black Death epidemics, and hear how St. Stephen's dealt with the influx of bodies.
