Laimgrubenkirche, Parish church in Mariahilf, 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 interior frescoes bear the mark of Johann Hauzinger and Franz Xaver Strattmann, who worked here following Paul Troger's artistic tradition. These wall paintings shape the character of the church space and display the baroque style of the era.
The church is easily accessible and visitors can freely explore the interior during regular opening hours. It is helpful to view the various chapels systematically to fully appreciate the fresco paintings.
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.
