A bit complicated to get there, but I'm glad I took the time and effort to visit the Otto Wagner Kirche. I visit a lot of churches on my visits, but this is the world's only art deco (Jugenstil) church and the most beautiful church I have ever seen, anywhere.

Ignore them, they are just wrong (In fact make a note to ignore all other reviews they do). Do not be put off by the fact that this is a church, if that is not your thing - this is a building like no other i have been in - it stuns in a whisper. Plan your trip to Vienna... More

If you are into Secessionist architecture then this is the place to go. Recently refurbished with enormous care, this Otto Wagner church with its stark white interior and magnificent stained glass windows and mosaics is stunning. Sort of Klimt meets Jesus. St Leopold in his cubist chair on the roof not to be missed. The history of the building and... More

This church is quite extraordinary, and if you should be in Vienna on a Saturday afternoon when it's open to the public, I urge you not to miss it. It is located in the grounds of the Wagner Hospital, a 25-minute bus (or, I suppose, taxi) ride westward out of central Vienna. You then have to walk about half a... More

I visited Kirche am Steinhof as part of my 5 full-day visit to Vienna and enjoyed it a bit. It was one of the few churches I had planned to visit in the city and after my time in Vienna my limited selection proved justified, as this was one of the few churches really worth devoting any time to as...

Amazing and unique piece of religious Jungenstil in a beautiful natural setting outside Vienna. From outside the building is majestic, with a beautiful dome. Inside the white marble, furtniture, stainglass windows, and designs create a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. A must-see for Art Nouveau lovers. Thank you Herr Otto Wagner!

It is just beautiful. Visit it on Saturdays or Sundays, when the interior is open tot the public. Taking pictures of movies is no problem at all

Warning: It's out of the way-can get ther with the Ubahn and bus, but then there is a bit of an uphill hike through the hospital grounds. We got there right at sunset. The building was beautiful, but it had already closed (we got there about 5 pm or 6 pm), so not sure how the interior was unfortunately.

I must admit that I am very useless with public transportation, so I took a taxi to Kirche am Steinhof. Also, I was pressed for time. This church is located in a hospital ground, which is not made clear in many guides. The best and most suitable approach to take is to ascend the steep path from the lower entrance... More

This must be the most impressive art deco church in the world. Photos do not do it justice. The ride on public transport takes a while and leaves one about 3-4 blocks downhill from the Kirche, but the trip and walk are well worth it. Check hours before heading out as this church has more limited opening hours than many.
