维也纳的圣-斯特凡教堂，是奥地利最显赫的哥特式建筑，收藏着大量艺术珍品，其中的一些只有在导游带领下才能参观：国王弗里德里希三世雕刻了将近50年的骨灰盒，把自己的雕像刻在祭坛旁边的雕塑家……

St. Stephen's Cathedral， Austria's most eminent Gothic edifice， houses a wealth of art treasures， some of which can only be seen during a guided tour：

The red-marble sepulcher of Emperor Frederick III， sculpted from 1467 to 1513 by Niclas Gerhaert van Leyden； the pulpit， a work from 1514-15 by Anton Pilgram （who put his own relief portrait underneath it as his signature）； the Altarpiece of Wiener Neustadt （Wiener Neustaedter Altar）， a Gothic winged altar from 1447 - and the tomb of Prince Eugene of Savoy， dating from 1754.

Tipp： climb the 343 steps to the tower-keeper's room of St. Stephen's and enjoy a breathtaking view.
