Augartenkirche, Parish church in Leopoldstadt, Austria
The Augartenkirche is a parish church in Leopoldstadt with a light-filled hall space lined with wooden paneling and featuring a wooden porch at its entrance. The interior's wooden elements create a simple and straightforward design.
The church was built in 1948 following architect Walter Reisch's design and received its parish status in 1950. It was constructed after World War II to serve the neighborhood's growing population.
The interior displays stained glass windows featuring Mary created by artist Lucia Jirgal, alongside evangelist reliefs and crucifixion sculptures that decorate the worship space. These artistic elements shape how the church feels to those who enter.
The church is located at Gaussplatz 14 in Vienna's second district and easy to reach from public transport. Both Catholic services and Greek Orthodox ceremonies take place here, so checking times ahead of your visit helps plan accordingly.
The organ was built by Dreher and Reinisch in 1950 and remains an original feature since the church's opening. It contributes to the clear, straightforward sound experience that visitors hear during services.
