Antoniuskirche, Graz, Baroque church in Innere Stadt, Graz, Austria
The Antoniuskirche is a Baroque church standing on the eastern slope of Schlossberg hill, marked by a triangular gable façade with a round window. The interior is divided into three vaulted bays that together form a compact worship space.
The foundation stone was laid in 1600 by a papal nuncio, shortly after Graz had expelled Protestants from the city. The church was built as a sign of Catholic return to the city after a period of religious upheaval.
The church reflects Counter-Reformation Catholic beliefs that took root in Graz during this period. Its decorated interior speaks to the religious importance this place held for the local community.
The church now functions as part of the Folk Life Museum, so it can be visited alongside cultural exhibits that help explain its purpose and context. This combination lets you experience both the religious space and broader cultural information in one location.
Inside you will find an 18th-century wooden pulpit with a curved basket design and marble holy water fonts from the early 1600s. These crafted details show the care that went into creating even smaller furnishings in that era.
