St. Georgs-Kathedrale

The St. Georgs-Kathedrale sits inside the military academy complex at Wiener Neustadt, built between 1440 and 1460 under Friedrich III, the Habsburg emperor who turned this modest town south of Vienna into a temporary imperial capital.

The St. Georgs-Kathedrale inside the Theresianische Militärakademie in Wiener Neustadt contains the burial of Emperor Maximilian I (d. 1519), one of the most consequential early Habsburgs. The cathedral was built between 1440 and 1460 under Friedrich III, whose son Maximilian was born and baptized here. Access to the military academy grounds is restricted; check milak.at for current visitor information. Wiener Neustadt is 45 minutes from Vienna by direct train.
