Invalidenhauskirche, Roman Catholic church in Hietzing, Vienna, Austria.
Description
Invalidenhauskirche is a Roman Catholic church in Hietzing, Vienna, designed in Art Nouveau style with historicist elements and located at Fasangartengasse 101 in the Speising district. It was built as a chapel for a facility serving disabled veterans and continues to serve its community today.
History
The church was consecrated on 5 May 1910 by Field Bishop Coloman Belopotoczky as a chapel for a new military facility for disabled veterans. After World War II, it became the seat of the Military Parish and has shaped the spiritual life of Austria's armed forces ever since.
Culture
The building serves as the seat of the Military Parish of Vienna and provides spiritual support to soldiers and their families. It holds a special place in the lives of those connected to Austria's military community.
Practical
The church has limited accessibility for visitors with mobility challenges, as the main entrance features stairs protected by heritage preservation regulations. Those with specific access needs should inquire about alternatives before visiting.
Did you know?
The bell tower received a new bell in 1949 after the original was confiscated and melted down during World War II. This replacement bell stands as a quiet reminder of the war years and Vienna's postwar rebuilding.
