Heiligengeistkirche Klagenfurt, Baroque church in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Heiligengeistkirche is a Baroque church featuring a single-nave hall with four bays and a barrel vault supported by pilasters adorned with regional coats of arms. The interior creates a tall, enclosed space with classical Baroque proportions.
The church was first documented in 1355 and served as Austria's largest Protestant place of worship in 1581 before coming under Jesuit control in 1600. This transfer marked a turning point in the building's religious purpose.
The ceiling features two large paintings by Josef and August Veiter from 1886, depicting the Birth of Christ and the Ascension, which dominate the interior.
The church entrances have limited accessibility for visitors with mobility restrictions and require advance planning. It is advisable to check accessibility information before visiting.
The prayer benches from 1740 display intricate inlay decorations that preserve 18th-century craftsmanship. These fine details are often overlooked but reveal the careful attention given to earlier church furnishings.
