It was supposed to be a day off, but, in order to get some steps, we walked up-river to St. Ruprecht's, said to be the oldest church in Vienna. As the church history says, it was damaged when a bomb hit the nearby Gestapo headquarters, but the oldest windows, stored in a depot, survived. They date from the early 14th century. Vienna was still but a town then, not the imperial capital.
