Gumpendorf, Vienna — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Gumpendorf is a quarter of Vienna marked by churches, the Kalasantinerkirche and the Altkatholische Heilandskirche among them.
About Gumpendorf
Where to stay in Gumpendorf
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Churches set the bearings here. A room near the Kalasantinerkirche or the Altkatholische Heilandskirche keeps the walkable part of Gumpendorf close, and the rest of Vienna reachable without much planning. Schulzentrum Friesgasse marks the other pole.
Between those points the quarter is residential rather than touristic.
About Gumpendorf
What are the main landmarks in Gumpendorf?
Four buildings hold the list. The Kalasantinerkirche and the Altkatholische Heilandskirche stand for two different congregations, and a Methodist church adds a third strand to a quarter that is otherwise ordinary streets. Schulzentrum Friesgasse is the fourth.
Gumpendorf keeps nothing grander than these.
What is the history of Gumpendorf?
Look for a founding charter and Gumpendorf offers none. The past of Gumpendorf has to be read off its buildings rather than out of a founding document, and the Kalasantinerkirche, the Altkatholische Heilandskirche and a Methodist church together point to a quarter of several congregations. Schulzentrum Friesgasse stands among them as the one secular landmark the quarter offers.
The rest is unrecorded.
Where is Gumpendorf?
Gumpendorf sits within Vienna, a built-up quarter whose fixed points are the Kalasantinerkirche and Schulzentrum Friesgasse.
