Neulerchenfelder Pfarrkirche, Vienna

Neulerchenfelder Pfarrkirche, Vienna, Baroque parish church in Ottakring, Austria

The Neulerchenfelder Parish Church is a Baroque religious building in Vienna's Ottakring district featuring two prominent towers topped with pyramidal spires. Its interior presents white walls that contrast with dark wooden ceilings throughout the spacious hall.

Construction was approved on 29 August 1732 by Provost Ernest von Perger, and the church was completed in 1753. It was consecrated on 28 May 1757 to the Sorrowful Mother of God and became an independent parish on 4 May 1761 under Cardinal Christoph Anton von Migazzi. A bombing on 15 January 1945 destroyed it except for the towers, the tabernacle and the statue of the Sorrowful Mother; the present hall church was consecrated on 27 October 1957.

Since 2014 the building has been used by the Serbian Orthodox Church as the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, serving parishes I to IV of the Eparchy of Austria-Switzerland. The last Catholic Mass was celebrated on 9 March 2014, after which the church closed for reconstruction. The six bells are divided between the two towers.

The church is located at Neulerchenfelder Strasse 47 in Vienna's 16th district and welcomes visitors during regular opening hours and service times. It helps to check current visiting times in advance, as schedules may vary according to religious celebrations and observances.

The high altarpiece, a roughly 7 by 4 metre painting by Joachim von Sandrart, belonged to the cathedral chapter of St. Stephen's and was only lent to the church. When the parish was dissolved in 2013 it returned to the cathedral, where it was hung in 2019 above the entrance to the hall of the Adlertor. The Pietà is by Johann Theny and the mosaics by Hermann Bauch.
