"The Church of the Holy Trinity, popularly known as the Wotruba church, looks more like an ecstatic pile of blocks than a building. And no wonder: its creator is sculptor Fritz Wotruba, renowned for his spare, abstract images of the human form. This two-storey structure is made entirely out of reinforced concrete. There are 152 different pieces of it bolted together to frame plate-glass windows offering views from its hillside location in an outlying area close to the Vienna Woods."

Rising like a sculpture against the Viennese sky, the Wotrubakirche (Church of the Most Holy Trinity) defies tradition. Built between 1974–1976 from 152 massive concrete blocks, Fritz Wotruba’s Brutalist masterpiece turns raw geometry into a place of light and contemplation, a reminder that beauty can be born from the bold and the unconventional.

If you're in the city on the weekend and are willing to make a trip around the restricted opening hours (Saturday 2-6pm, Sunday 9am-4.30pm), it's a lovely Brutalist church worth seeing. Hiking opportunities abound in the forest right behind, trails are well marked.

A great piece of brutalism planned by the Austrian artist Fritz Wotruba. It's worth a visit and walk in the surrounding area.

An important building in the history of Brutalism, but the confused interior spatial logic tells that this was mainly designed by a sculptor. Don’t be put off if you are not able to come during the opening hours - viewing from the outside is a better experience

Beautiful example of brutalist architecture, sitting at the top of a leafy hill, at the edge of a large green park. Definitely worth visiting during operation hours and beyond.

Beautiful example of brutalist and cubist architecture. It's a very nice place to come and just experience a bit of peace.
