Lazaristenkirche, Graz, Gothic Revival parish church in Lend district, Graz, Austria.
The Lazaristenkirche is a single-nave brick church designed by Friedrich von Schmidt with a straightforward Gothic Revival form. Sandstone reliefs depicting the Annunciation and Crowning of Mary grace the entrance portal and establish the building's visual character.
Friedrich von Schmidt, architect of Vienna's City Hall, built this church between 1856 and 1858 for the Lazarist Order near Graz railway station. The structure emerged during a period of church renewal across Austria in the 1800s.
The high altar displays figures of Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Mary Magdalene, reflecting the spiritual focus of the Lazarist community. The pulpit, adorned with statues of Saint Joseph and Christ, shapes the liturgical space and draws attention during services.
The church is open for regular services and sits in an accessible location near Graz railway station and the Lend district. Adjacent facilities operated by Caritas include a learning cafe and Marienstüberl, a community meal service providing food to those in need.
The original Matthäus Mauracher organ from the 1860s remains on the rear balcony and is still playable. A modern digital Viscount instrument was added later for the primary liturgical needs of the congregation.
