Antoniuskirche, Graz, Baroque church in Innere Stadt, Graz, Austria

The Antoniuskirche stands on the eastern slope of Schlossberg hill, featuring a triangular gable façade with a round window and three interior vaulted bays.

The church foundation stone was laid in 1600 by a papal nuncio, two days after the burning of 10,000 Protestant books marked the expulsion of Protestants.

The main altar displays a painting from 1602 by court artist Giovanni Pietro de Pomis depicting themes of Counter-Reformation Catholic doctrine.

The church building now functions as part of the Folk Life Museum complex, allowing visitors to explore both religious architecture and cultural exhibits.

The interior contains an 18th-century wooden pulpit with curved basket design, marble holy water fonts from the 1600s, and a crucifix by Alexander Silveri.
