Glaubenskirche

The Glaubenskirche features concrete walls, brick elements, glass panels, and spruce wood components, forming a nearly cubic main worship space with natural lighting.

Designed by architect Roland Rainer following his 1952 competition victory, the church replaced a temporary wooden structure and opened its doors in September 1963.

The church bells, named Faith, Love, and Hope, ring from an eight-meter tower, representing fundamental principles of Protestant religious expression in Vienna.

Located at Braunhubergasse 20, the church includes a community center and additional rooms arranged around a courtyard with a covered walkway to the entrance.

Among Roland Rainer's five church designs, this stands as the only one constructed in Vienna, featuring a glass block cross embedded in the wall above the altar.
