Lutheran City Church, Renaissance church in Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Lutheran City Church is a Renaissance-style sacred building with a neoclassical facade topped by a triangular pediment. Its interior follows a hall church design with galleries on all sides.
The building was originally constructed as a Catholic monastery church in 1582. It passed to the Lutheran community in 1783 during Austria's Josephinist reforms.
The church displays carved wooden furnishings that reflect its Protestant redesign following the 18th-century reforms. These details shape the interior experience and show how the community adapted the space to its own values.
The building sits at Dorotheergasse 18 in Vienna's first district next to the Reformed City Church. The Dorotheum auction house opposite serves as a useful landmark for finding the location.
The church preserves marble plaques marking burial chambers where the hearts of Empress Anna, Emperor Matthias, and Emperor Ferdinand II were laid to rest. This small collection ties the building to imperial history.
