Church of Mariahilf
Source

The Church of Mariahilf, located in Vienna's 6th district, is a Baroque parish church and also the church of the Congregation of Saint Michael the Archangel. This historic church is a significant part of Vienna's architectural and religious landscape.

Historical Transformation of the Church

The parish church of Mariahilf was originally built by Sebastiano Carlone between 1686 and 1689. However, it was later redesigned by Franz Jänggl from 1711 to 1715. This historical transformation adds to the architectural richness of the church.

Artistic Features of the Church

The Church of Mariahilf houses six chapels and is adorned with trompe-l'œil frescoes. These frescoes were created by Johann Hauzinger and Franz Xaver Strattmann, who were pupils of Paul Troger, in 1759–1760. The intricate artwork adds to the aesthetic appeal of the church.
