Lonely Planet review for Maria am Gestade

Originally a wooden church built by Danube boatsmen around 880, Maria am Gestade (Maria on the Riverbank) today is a shapely Gothic beauty of stone assembled from the 14th century. When Napoleon came to town from 1805, he used it as a store for his weapons and stall for his horses. The interior, with its high vaulted Gothic ceiling and pretty stained glass behind a winged Gothic altar, can only be viewed during services, held at 7am and 11am Monday to Saturday, and from 7am to noon Sunday. The church is on a picturesque flight of steps in a quiet corner of town.
