Brigittakirche, Gothic Revival parish church in Brigittenau, Vienna, Austria.

The Brigittakirche is a free-standing Gothic Revival brick church with a twin-tower facade on Brigittaplatz. Its three-aisled nave, 60 m long, 20.5 m wide and 19 m high, has six bays and no transept; instead of ribbed vaults it shows transverse pointed arches, and the steep roofs of nave and choir are covered with coloured tiles. Friedrich von Schmidt designed it, Richard Jordan led the building work.

In 1846 the Leopoldstadt district committee called for a parish in Brigittenau; Cardinal Joseph Othmar von Rauscher bought a plot from Stift Klosterneuburg in 1867, and the city council approved the build on 17 December 1867. Friedrich von Schmidt designed it, Richard Jordan led construction from 1868, and Rauscher consecrated it on 31 May 1874, the parish being canonically erected the next day. Bomb damage on 22 March 1945 was repaired by 1948; a 1972 earthquake forced demolition of the old parish house.

The parish is dedicated to Saint Brigitta of Sweden, whose name also labels the district Brigittenau. A statue by Engelbert Häupl was placed in the church on 8 October 1986. At the right side altar hangs a portrait of Sister Maria Restituta (Helene Kafka), beatified as a martyr on 21 June 1998, who received First Communion and Confirmation here.

The church stands free on all sides at Brigittaplatz in the 20th district, its double-tower brick facade facing the square. The interior was renovated in 1984 and 1985; the building is a protected monument. Visitors should check Mass times, as the church may be closed outside services.

The organ, built by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co. for the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, was moved to the church afterwards; it has 21 stops on two manuals and pedal. The six bells shown at the same fair were hung in the towers that year; the present six were cast in 1954 in St. Florian.
