Wotruba Church

Local nameWotrubakirche
LocationVienna, Austria

The Kirche Zur Heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit, better known as the Wotrubakirche or Wotruba Church, is a Catholic church located in Liesing, Vienna. It was built between August 1974 and October 1976, based on a design by Austrian sculptor Fritz Wotruba.

The building of the church was initiated by Margarethe Ottillinger, and designed by Wotruba. The planning architect was Fritz Gerhard Mayr. Ottillinger chose the site of former Nazi barracks, and wanted the new church to make a bold religious and artistic statement during a time of increasing secularization. Wotruba died before the completion of the church, and Mayr oversaw the remaining work.
