Schwarzspanierkirche, Protected church in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria

The Schwarzspanierkirche displays a three-part basilica facade spanning two floors, incorporating architectural elements from the Il Gesù style.

Built between 1690 and 1727, the church served as an evangelical garrison from 1861 to 1918, later becoming a Russian Orthodox church in 1935.

The building holds connections to Ludwig van Beethoven, who resided in the adjacent Schwarzspanierhaus until his death in 1827.

Only the main facade remains today, integrated into the Albert Schweitzer House, a protestant student residence opened in 1966.

The church's ceiling paintings by Antonio Pellegrini remained hidden under layers of paint until their rediscovery during restoration work in 1939.
