The Church of Malta, or the Church of the Order of St. John, began her story during the Crusades. Vienna was an important point on the path of the Crusades and Frederick Barbarossa - the German king, stayed in Vienna. The church was first mentioned in 1217. Until that time, on the site of the church was the "House of the Pruder of the Order of the Sand Johann", who devoted himself to pastoral work, caring for the poor and supporting the crusaders. Between 1205 and 1217, the Johannes (followers of the Order of St. John) probably settled in the then St. Johannes Strasse (today Kärntner Straße 35 / Johannesgasse 2), an important trade and military route through Vienna to Croatia. In the 17th century, the church was the preaching place of Abraham from Santa Clara by the court preacher and the founder of a special style of preaching. His sculpture was installed near Albertina, at the entrance to the Palace Park. Translated with Google Translate
From Stephansplatz through the ancient Karststrasse to the Albertina Gallery. In Albertine, there was a Monet exhibition, when the works of this artist were brought from different museums of the world and exhibited together, presenting the same places at different times of the year or at different times of the day. And the walk ended on the square of the old market, the funny story of Mark Twain. Translated with Google Translate
