Sankt Leopold auf dem Leopoldsberg, Baroque church on Leopoldsberg hill in Döbling, Austria

The Sankt Leopold church features two symmetrical towers, a central cupola, and diagonal side rooms arranged around a central hall with surrounding galleries.

Emperor Leopold I commissioned this church in 1679 to replace the previous St. George chapel, which was destroyed during the first Turkish siege of Vienna.

The church houses religious artwork, including an altar depicting Saint Leopold created by Christian Sambach in 1790 and side altars showing Saint Anne.

The church reopened to visitors in June 2018 after extensive repairs and restoration work that returned the structure to its 1720 architectural appearance.

A commemorative plaque from 1904 on the exterior walls records the visit of Empress Elisabeth of Austria in May 1896.
