Jesuit Church Vienna or (Jesuitenkirche Wien) has a fascinating history. “Jesuit” loosely translates to Society of Jesus, which is an international community for men in the Roman Catholic Church.
The historical church was built in two separate periods. The first was from 1712 to 1723, the second beginning in 1749. The crossbeam of the nave and the chancel were built during the first period, and the exterior during the second.
Friedrich Federle constructed the church's tower in 1866. Although the original interior was not preserved, the central altar painting by Andreas Muller remains.
Another significant feature of the Jesuit Church is the Prince Elector tomb located in the northeast corner of the church. Currently, the building houses the University’s administration and philosophical seminary.
The church’s Baroque style is elegant, with marble-covered pillars coupled with a magnificent ceiling, making it one of the most remarkable churches in Vienna. The beautiful ceiling art creates the illusion that it is a dome when you first enter the church.
Entry to the church is free, but donations are suggested. Jesuit Church Vienna is accessible from most areas of the city.
