Dominikanerinnenkonvent, Hacking

Dominikanerinnenkonvent, Hacking, Religious convent in Hietzing district, Vienna, Austria.

The Dominikanerinnenkonvent is a Roman Catholic monastery at Schlossberggasse 17 in Hietzing, founded in 1870 by Princess Friederike von Auersperg. Its neo-Gothic chapel, Maria, Königin des hl. Rosenkranzes, was built 1885–1886 to plans by Richard Jordan under master builder Josef Schmalzhofer. The exposed-brick chapel has a double-tower facade and a large triangular gable facing the street, so it reads more like a church than a chapel; a second, towerless school chapel is part of the complex.

The building was constructed between 1885 and 1886 following architect Richard Jordan's designs during an era of growing religious institutions. Its completion marked the expansion of Dominican communities in Vienna's suburban areas.

The convent's chapel is dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, and on its altar wall hangs a large wooden sculpture by Josef Lang showing the rosary being handed to St. Dominic. The complex also holds a second, towerless school chapel, and the former boarding school rooms now serve the sisters' schools and after-school care.

The convent stands at Schlossberggasse 17 in Hietzing, a short walk from Hietzing station on the U4 line. The chapel and school buildings face the street, while the school wing runs along Seuttergasse. The complex is an active school and care site, so visits are best arranged through the convent's own website rather than assumed.

The building holds protected monument status and undergoes regular restoration work to preserve its neo-gothic facades and architectural details. This protection reflects its value as an example of late 19th-century ecclesiastical design in Vienna.
