St. Nicholas' Church, Inzersdorf, Parish church in Liesing district, Vienna, Austria
St. Nicholas' Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Inzersdorf, in Vienna's 23rd district, Liesing. The Neoclassical building, erected from 1818 to 1821, is a circular domed rotunda with a steeple on its north side. In 1845/1846 a sacristy, a choir and an Ionic column portico were added; a family funerary chapel built in 1860 stands on the east side.
The church was built during the Neoclassical period and later received protected monument status under Austrian law. This designation reflects its importance as a historical structure in Vienna.
The church serves the Catholic community of Inzersdorf as a meeting place for worship and religious celebrations throughout the year. It functions as a gathering point where neighbors connect and parish life unfolds.
The church is located in the southern part of Vienna and is easily accessible from nearby streets. Visitors should be aware that this is an active parish church with regular services and community events throughout the week.
Since 1846 the church has housed a copy of the Lettner cross from St. Stephen's Cathedral; after the original burned in 1945, it was reconstructed using the Inzersdorf version as a model. Anton Lehmden also added an unusual 15th Station of the Resurrection to his 1999 Stations of the Cross.
