Pfarrkirche Machstraße, Parish church in Leopoldstadt district, Vienna, Austria.
The Pfarrkirche Machstraße is a Roman Catholic parish church in Vienna's Leopoldstadt district built on pillars above a residential complex. The structure features a simple hall design with a flat roof that departs from traditional church architecture.
Construction took place between 1964 and 1966 following architect Erich Boltenstern's plans, with parish status granted in 1967. This period represents modern church building in Austria during the postwar years.
The glass windows by artist Günther Kraus shape the interior and reflect the 1960s taste in religious architecture. These works give the space its contemporary character.
The church is located at Machstraße 8-10 and offers regular services for its parish community. As part of the Archdiocese of Vienna, it is accessible to visitors during open hours.
The church is named after Saint Nicholas of Flüe, a Swiss hermit and peacemaker. This choice reflects the spiritual direction of the community and its connection to European Catholic traditions.
