Nussdorfer Pfarrkirche, Parish church in Döbling, Austria.
The Nussdorfer Pfarrkirche is a parish church in Döbling that displays architectural features from late Baroque and Classicism, with a central altar painting showing Saint Thomas. The building sits at Greinergasse 25 and functions as the main religious center for the Nussdorf parish community.
A fire in 1790 destroyed the original 14th-century chapel, leading to construction of the current church under supervision of Klosterneuburg Monastery. After its completion, it was established as an independent parish in 1783, gaining separation from Heiligenstadt parish jurisdiction.
The interior features Baroque pews sourced from dissolved monasteries during Emperor Joseph II's time, reflecting choices made during that period of change. A tabernacle by Joseph Kornhäusel adds to the artistic value of the space.
The building is easy to reach and can serve as a starting point for exploring the Nussdorf district, which has many narrow streets and traditional homes. The best time to visit is during daylight hours, when natural light illuminates the interior details well.
The building was originally part of the Heiligenstadt parish but was separated through an imperial reorganization in the 1780s. This administrative change allowed Nussdorf to develop as its own church center and strengthen local identity.
