Kirche am Steinhof, Art Nouveau church in Penzing district, Vienna, Austria.
The Kirche am Steinhof features a golden dome covered with copper plates and includes marble facades, glass mosaics, and decorative angel sculptures throughout the building.
Otto Wagner designed and constructed this institutional church between 1904 and 1907 adjacent to what was then Europe's largest psychiatric hospital 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.
The church maintains seasonal operations from March 15 to October 31, with guided tours available on Saturday afternoons and additional evening access hours.
The interior design incorporated specific features for psychiatric patients, including seating without sharp edges and sloped floors for enhanced visibility and maintenance.
