Heiligenstadt Parish Church St. Michael, Gothic Revival parish church in Heiligenstadt, Vienna, Austria.

St. Michael is a Gothic Revival parish church in Heiligenstadt, Vienna, built as a pseudo-basilica with a central nave and two side aisles. Its surviving Gothic choir is slightly offset and skewed from the main axis, attributed either to ground conditions or to symbolism of Christ's tilted head after the Crucifixion. The high altar, designed by the architects of the 1894–1898 reconstruction, shows the Archangel Michael.

St. Michael's was first documented in 1243 as a subsidiary church of Klosterneuburg Monastery and became a parish church in the 14th century. Its parish then covered Heiligenstadt plus Nußdorf, Grinzing, Sievering, Salmannsdorf, Neustift am Walde and Ober- and Unterdöbling. The founding of the Sievering parish in 1348 stripped away the western villages; Nußdorf and Grinzing stayed until Joseph II's parish reform. After Ottoman damage the Gothic church was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1723, and in 1894–1898 it was replaced by Richard Jordan's Gothic Revival new building, keeping only the choir and lower walls.

The Stations of the Cross were made in 1930/31 by Franz Zelezny, who gave the faces of the Passion figures to Chancellor Ignaz Seipel and to residents of Heiligenstadt. The parish is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, shown in the centre of the high altar.

The church stands at the corner of Heiligenstädter Straße and Pfarrplatz in Heiligenstadt, reachable on foot from the U4 Heiligenstadt terminus and the 38A bus. The preserved Gothic choir sits slightly off-axis from the main nave, so look for the bend where old and new construction meet. The 1898 Mauracher organ and the 1954 Pfundner bells remain in use.

The Stations of the Cross, made by Franz Zelezny in 1930/31, give the faces of the Passion figures to real people: Chancellor Ignaz Seipel and residents of Heiligenstadt appear among them. Look for these portraits while walking the nave.
