Servitenkirche, Innsbruck, Baroque church in Maria-Theresien-Straße, Innsbruck, Austria.
The Servitenkirche is a baroque church with an elongated layout marked by slender stucco marble pilasters and a three-section barrel vault ceiling. The space flows from the entrance through a retracted choir positioned deeper within the structure.
Construction began in 1613 and the building was reconstructed following a fire in 1620, then consecrated in 1626. The Gonzaga family initiated the project with backing from the Habsburg rulers.
The interior displays ceiling paintings and frescoes that shape the appearance of the space and tell of different artistic periods. The choir is set deeper into the building, giving the room a particular spatial arrangement.
The building is located on Maria-Theresien-Straße and opens to visitors during standard hours. A pipe organ housed inside is regularly used for musical performances and events.
The church tower received its distinctive peak in 1899 through architectural modifications that give the building a recognizable profile in the city skyline. These later changes continue to define how the structure appears today.
