This is a list of special architectural attractions open to the public - places you might want to go to purely for their archiectural content. They are individual buildings of significant interest which you can enter and enjoy. We are not, however, attempting a comprehensive tourist guide and galleries and the like (with serious architectural content) will be added as a second level of information.

The UK is listed first.

 Built for the Lower Austrian Institution and Sanatorium (you go through the complex to get to the church), this church occupies a commanding position on the hills of the Vienna woods. Its gleaming dome can be seen from many high vantage points in the city of Vienna. Although the church is built of brick, it is sheathed with sheets of white marble which are fastened by marble bands and bolts with copper tops. The dome is also copper tile (once gilded). The iron windows were also coated with copper.

 The Vienna Secession, an avant-garde group of artists, many of whom are associated with Jugendstil, the German variant of art nouveau, saw this building completed in time for their second exhibit, designed by one of their members. Its dignity and simplicity were seen as appropriate for a "temple" to art. The foliated dome, nicknamed by contemporaries as the "golden cabbage," is gilded with laurel leaves and berries. The big interior attraction is a freize by Klimt.
