Servitenkirche Description
The Servites' (or "Servants of Our Lady") Church, dedicated to the Annunciation, was founded by Field-Marshal Octavio Piccolomini, one of the leaders of the Wallenstein Conspiracy. It was built by Carlo Carnevale between 1651 and 1677; Piccolomoni died in 1656 and so did not live to see the work completed. The Servites' Church is the earliest building in Vienna based on a central oval form with its main nave elliptical in shape. The transept houses wide, rectangular chapels and in the diagonal corners there are small, semicircular altar niches. In the narthex can be seen two large 17th C. Baroque figures and a magnificent wrought iron trellised screen dating from c. 1670. The rich stucco decoration is by Giovanni Battista Barbarino (1669)
