Piarist Church, Baroque church in Josefstadt, Austria.

The Piarist Church features two symmetrical towers with pointed spires and displays intricate decorative elements throughout its white stone exterior walls.

Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt designed this religious edifice in 1716, taking several decades to complete due to financial constraints and construction delays.

The church maintains its original function as both a religious center and an educational institution, following the Piarist order's dedication to teaching.

Located near Theater in der Josefstadt, the church holds regular services and allows visitors to examine its baroque architecture and detailed frescoes.

The altar painting comes from artist Josef Herzzusammen, who created this work after making a promise during his recovery from plague.
