Reformed City Church, Reformed church in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The Reformed City Church in the Innere Stadt is a building styled in neoclassical and baroque revival design with a distinctive tower on its facade. The interior impresses through its simplicity and absence of religious imagery, allowing the space itself to draw attention.
Following the Edict of Tolerance in 1782, architects Gottlieb Nigelli and Ignaz Sowinski built this church between 1783 and 1784. It was constructed on land that once held a monastery.
The Reformed City Church draws worshippers from many countries who gather for services in their native languages. It has become a meeting place for international communities seeking spiritual connection in Vienna.
The church is located in Vienna's first district and welcomes visitors during worship services and at set times. It helps to check ahead about opening hours since these can vary by season.
The original building was designed so its religious purpose was intentionally hidden, appearing as a residence from the street. The main entrance sits concealed within an inner courtyard, which makes it hard for visitors today to spot it as a church at first glance.
