St. Stephen's is a gothic cathedral in Vienna whose spires dominate the center city skyline. My camera is not capable of even beginning to do justice to the awesome (used in the correct sense of the word) architecture, but it can provide some images of the various sandstone scuptural components. Sandstone, being very soft, allows for greater detail and sense of fluidity than granite. While gothic, many of the stautes have a more renaissance or even baroque feel. See below.
