Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Innsbruck, Serbian Orthodox church in Innsbruck, Austria

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a neo-Romanesque gallery basilica on Maximilianstraße, built 1896–1897 to plans by Peter Huter with builders Alfons Mayr and Franz Mayr. Its three-part facade has three stone portals, triforium windows, a dwarf gallery and a central tower with a spire, with statues of the Sacred Heart, Saint Alphonsus and Clement Mary Hofbauer. Inside, a two-bay nave, pseudo-transept and rounded apse carry cross-ribbed vaults; ceiling paintings by Jonas Ranter, Heinrich Schmid, Anton Marte, Mentel and Eduard Sailer show scenes from the life of Jesus, the Heavenly Jerusalem and the Crucifixion.

The Redemptorists, present in Innsbruck since 1827, built a new monastery near the new hospital in 1895. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 17 May 1896, the centenary year of Tyrol's consecration to the Sacred Heart. Prince-Bishop Simon Aichner consecrated it on 25 May 1898. It became a parish church in 1950, and in 2018 the Redemptorists decided to withdraw and hand it to the Serbian Orthodox community.

The name refers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom Tyrol was consecrated in 1796; the church cornerstone was laid in 1896, the centenary year. Since 2019 the building has served Innsbruck's Serbian Orthodox community, which previously had no such church in the city centre.

The church stands on the Maximilianstraße, its main facade flush with the street line and centred on a tall tower with a pointed spire. The three neo-Romanesque stone portals face the street; the entrance hall lies behind them. Since 2019 the building has served the Serbian Orthodox community, so visits depend on their service times.

The church's interior was completed only in 1909, more than a decade after the 1898 consecration, following designs by architect and sculptor Josef Schmid. The ceiling paintings were executed by Jonas Ranter, Heinrich Schmid, Anton Marte, Mentel and Eduard Sailer, showing scenes from the life of Jesus in the nave, the Heavenly Jerusalem in the crossing and the Crucifixion in the apse.
