Laimgrubenkirche, Parish church in Mariahilf, Vienna, Austria

The Laimgrubenkirche is a parish church in Mariahilf featuring six chapels adorned with fresco decorations throughout its interior. The space is well-proportioned and shaped by artistic paintings that enrich the visual character of the sanctuary.

Construction of this church began in the late 1680s under Sebastiano Carlone and was later substantially redesigned by Franz Jänggl. This redesign significantly shaped the building's current appearance.

The name Laimgrube refers to the loam pits of the old suburb where the church stands; the present building is a 1906 neo-baroque replica of the Baroque church demolished in 1907 on Mariahilfer Straße. Much of the Baroque furnishing was transferred to the new church, above all Joseph Schönmann's high altarpiece of Saint Joseph painted in 1866.

The church stands at Windmühlgasse 3 in Mariahilf, a short walk from the Mariahilfer Straße shopping street. The entrance is at street level with no steps at the doorway. The building faces the lane directly, so the neo-baroque facade is seen up close from the pavement rather than from a forecourt.

The pulpit was created by Antonio Beduzzi and features detailed wooden carvings displaying an uncommon iconographic scene. This skilled work is often overlooked by visitors, though it stands as a treasure of the interior.
