Piarist Church

The Piarist Church, also known as the Church of Maria Treu, is a Baroque parish church of the Order of the Piarists in Vienna. The church has eight chapels and is decorated with frescoes made by Franz Anton Maulbertsch in 1752–53. Commissioned by the Piarists, Haydn’s Missa in Tempore Belli (Mass in Time of War, sometimes known as Kettledrum Mass) was first performed here on 26 December 1796. The Piaristenkirche was elevated to the rank of Basilica Minor in 1949.
