The Teutonic Order was called to Vienna by Duke Leopold VI at the beginning of the 13th C. The Order started constructing its premises, which probably included a chapel, a little later. In the 14th C. the Gothic church dedicated to St Elisabeth was incorporated into the buildings. In 1667 Carlo Carlone erected a new building which included a church. Between 1720 and 1725 this building was given the appearance which it has kept to the present day. The architect was Anton Erhard Martinelli.
