Empress Elisabeth Memorial Church, Art Nouveau church memorial in Puchberg am Schneeberg, Austria.
The Empress Elisabeth Memorial Church features ornate Art Nouveau architectural elements set against the mountainous landscape of Schneeberg at 1,796 meters elevation.
Emperor Franz Joseph I commissioned this church in 1901 to commemorate his wife Elisabeth of Austria, who died by assassination in 1898.
The memorial church maintains its status as a protected historical monument, representing the architectural and social influences of the late 19th century Austrian Empire.
Visitors can reach the church through hiking paths near the mountain station of Schneebergbahn, with services scheduled throughout the religious calendar.
This Roman Catholic church holds the distinction of being the highest elevation religious structure in the Archdiocese of Vienna.
