Kirche am Steinhof, Art Nouveau church in Penzing district, Vienna, Austria.
Kirche am Steinhof is an Art Nouveau church in Hütteldorf. The building features a gilded dome made of copper plates, Carrara marble facades, glass mosaics, and decorative angel sculptures throughout.
Otto Wagner designed and built the church between 1904 and 1907 next to a major psychiatric hospital. It was created as part of a modern medical facility in Vienna's western suburbs.
The stained glass windows, designed by Koloman Moser of the Vienna Secession movement, were safely preserved in the Czech Republic during World War II.
Access is seasonal, with extended opening during warmer months. Guided tours are offered on specific days, so planning ahead is helpful.
The interior was intentionally designed for psychiatric patients, with rounded seating edges and sloped floors. These practical solutions show how architecture was shaped to meet specific human needs.
