Servite Church in Vienna

History

On September 16, 1638, Emperor Ferdinand III allowed the Servite Order to found a monastery in Vienna.

Inspired by Italian architect Andrea Palladio, the church of the Servites was built by Martin Carlone and dedicated to the Annunciation to the Virgin. The foundation stone was laid on November 11, 1651 and the church was consecrated in 1670 though the interior decoration was completed later.

The most important work of art in the church is the "Pietà" at the altar of Our Lady of Sorrows. The tomb of general Ottavio Piccolomini, who was an active patron of the church, is located under this altar. Another patron of the church was Baron Christoph Ignaz Abele who donated the "Liborius altar".

gollark: https://github.com/drhagen/parsita is a Python library I found which looks okay and apparently does those.
gollark: As I said, I generally favour parser combinators for complex parsing tasks.
gollark: Regular expressions, strictly, can only parse regular languages. I don't know exactly how that's defined, but it may not include your chemical formula notation. It probably can be done using the fancy not-actually-regular expressions most programming languages support, but it might be quite eldritch to make it work right.
gollark: I'm not sure if this is a problem actual regexes (I mean, most programming languages have not-regexes with backreferences and other things) can solve, actually?
gollark: Oh, just formulae, not names? That's much easier!
