Lichtental Parish Church, Parish church in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria
Lichtental Parish Church is a place of worship in Alsergrund featuring two symmetrical towers and light-colored stone walls with numerous arched windows in baroque style. The interior contains altar paintings and wall decorations by notable artists from the 18th century.
A ruler in Vienna ordered the church's construction in 1712, and it opened to worshippers in 1714. A second tower top was added over a century later in 1827, completing the structure visitors see today.
The church's name reflects the light that floods through its large windows and pale walls into the interior space. Visitors notice how this bright, airy quality shapes the feeling of the rooms.
The church opens for regular services and welcomes visitors at any time. Allow time to slowly view the windows and artwork inside and to enjoy the calm surroundings.
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.
