Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos

The Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos is a Russian Orthodox shrine in Salzburg featuring distinctive onion domes and wooden construction that preserves traditional building methods. The structure stands out for its decorative woodwork and distinctive color scheme.

The shrine was founded in 1964 to serve the Russian Orthodox community that had settled in the Salzburg region. Since then it has remained a religious center for Russian believers in the area.

The community gathers here for religious celebrations following the Orthodox calendar, creating a space where Russian traditions find expression in Salzburg. Visitors can see the icon paintings on the walls, which show how faith is expressed through visual art.

The building sits on Christian-Doppler-Straße and welcomes visitors to regular services and special Orthodox celebrations throughout the year. It helps to check in advance about visiting hours for cultural or religious observance.

Among the treasures housed here is a printed altar Gospel that testifies to ancient ecclesiastical traditions and is carefully preserved. Such liturgical items allow visitors to understand the depth of Russian Orthodox faith practice.
