Lonely Planet review for Michaelerkirche
The Michaelerkirche dates from the 13th century and, not counting the Roman ruins, is the oldest building on Michaelerplatz. The most interesting aspect of the church is its burial crypt, which you can see on 40-minute bilingual German/English tours at 11am and 1.30pm Monday to Saturday between Easter and October. Out of respect for the dead, taking photos is not allowed. Only the well-off and noble were buried in the crypt, and unlike the catacombs in Stephansdom, it wasn’t used for plague victims.
