Lichtental Parish Church, Parish church in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria

The Lichtental Parish Church exhibits two symmetrical towers and light-colored stone walls with multiple arched windows and decorative elements.

Emperor Charles VI initiated the construction in 1712, and the church opened for services in 1714 before receiving its second tower in 1827.

Franz Schubert composed several masses for this church, where he received his first musical education and was baptized in 1797.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and welcomes visitors to explore its interior, featuring paintings by Franz Anton Zoller and Franz Sigrist.

The high altar, created in 1776 by Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, presents a large painting depicting the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
