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

Lichtental Parish Church, dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers, stands in Vienna's 9th district, Alsergrund. Its Baroque double-tower facade faces the street, and the interior holds ceiling frescoes and side altars by Franz Zoller and Leopold Kupelwieser. The church was enlarged from 1769 to 1773 and mixes Baroque with Neoclassical elements.

Lichtental became an independent parish in 1723, with Carl de Giorgio as its first pastor. The church was consecrated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers in 1730, and an organ followed in 1738. From 1769 to 1773 it was enlarged to its present size under Joseph Ritter and Thaddäus Kärner, with Maria Theresia laying the foundation; the north tower was completed only in 1827.

The nickname Schubertkirche comes from Franz Schubert, baptised here on 1 February 1797, who received his first musical training at this church. His first Mass in F major was first performed here on 25 September 1814, conducted by the 17-year-old composer for the parish's centenary; his later Masses in G, B-flat and C major were also written for Lichtental.

The church stands at the corner of Marktgasse and Wiesengasse in Lichtental, a short walk from the Schubert Geburtshaus. The baroque double-tower facade faces the street, and the 1827 north tower completes the pair. Inside, the 1774 organ case of the Schubert organ stands on the gallery; the 1984 instrument behind it has 26 stops on two manuals and pedal.

A well-known composer received his first music lessons here and was baptized in the church in 1797. The high altar displays a large painting from 1776 depicting holy protectors, created by an architect and artist.
