The three-nave basilica was founded in 1221 by monks of the Order of St. Michael. In the 14th century the church was expanded, and in the 16th century it was rebuilt in the Gothic style. From the 13th to the 18th century, the Michaellerkirche was one of Vienna's three parish churches, along with St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Scottish Monastery. The parish of Michaelerkirche included the imperial residence. In 1724-1725 the church acquired a baroque appearance. In 1792 the western facade was decorated in the classicist spirit.
