Heiligenstadt

Heiligenstadt, incorporated in Döbling in 1892, is the oldest and prettiest of the Viennese villages.

Its narrow winding streets have helped to keep it free from too much bustle. In the area around Probusgasse and Armbrustergasse it is still possible to see how the place used to look, with its Empire and early 19th C. houses.

St Jacob's Church on the Pfarrplatz was built in Romanesque times on Roman foundations; although frequently destroyed, altered and rebuilt, it is still worth seeing.

Beethoven stayed in Heiligenstadt on several occasions.
