Church of Donaufeld, Gothic Revival parish church in Floridsdorf, Austria.
The Church of Donaufeld is a Gothic Revival parish church in Floridsdorf with a distinctive tall structure that dominates its surroundings. The building displays characteristic pointed arches, soaring walls, and ornamental stone detailing typical of its architectural style.
The church was completed in 1914 following the death of its original architect Franz Neumann. His design was fully realized despite his absence during the final construction phase.
The church honors Saint Leopold, Austria's patron saint and founder of nearby Klosterneuburg monastery. This dedication reflects how local faith connects to broader regional religious traditions.
The church welcomes visitors and holds regular services throughout the week. It is maintained by the Augustinian Canons from Klosterneuburg monastery who ensure ongoing care.
Original plans envisioned this building as a cathedral for a new diocese east of the Danube river. Those ambitious plans never came to fruition when Floridsdorf became part of Vienna.
