Sankt Laurenz am Schottenfeld, Roman Catholic parish church in Neubau, Vienna, Austria
Sankt Laurenz am Schottenfeld is a parish church in Vienna's Neubau district built between 1784 and 1787 with a baroque classicist design. The building features ionic pilasters and a distinctive tower that stands out along the street frontage.
Construction began in 1784 under architect Andreas Zach, commissioned by the Scottish Monastery under Abbot Benno Pointner. The project was completed in 1787 as a significant addition to Vienna's parish church landscape.
The ceiling paintings from 1769 to 1771 by Leopold Schulz, Ignaz Schönbrunner, and Anton Roux display religious themes and artistic mastery.
The church sits at the intersection of Westbahnstraße and Zieglergasse, making it easy to find and reach by public transport. Visitors can enter during daytime hours, especially between services when there is more quiet.
Stained glass windows from 1905 created by the Geyling studio depict biblical scenes including the prophet Jonah and the Coronation of Mary with intricate craftsmanship. These windows provide a striking contrast to the classicist interior.
