Chapel of St. Roch, Vienna, Baroque parish church in Penzing, Vienna, Austria
The Chapel of St. Roch features a high facade with large volutes above the cornice and contains a rectangular structure enclosing a Greek cross-shaped interior.
Built in 1660 by master builder Georg Gerstenbrand under parish priest Georg Einwang's direction, the chapel underwent reconstruction after destruction during the 1683 Turkish siege.
The chapel houses a crucifixion group on its 1739 high altar and serves both the Roman Catholic Parish Penzing St. Jakob and Romanian Greek Catholic Church.
Located at Penzinger Street 70, the chapel maintains its religious functions while standing as a protected architectural monument in the western district of Vienna.
The chapel contains a parapet organ from 1794, created by Joseph Effinger, a renowned organ builder from Bratislava.
