Faniteum building in Vienna

Variants of the name:
Klasztor Karmelitanek w Wiedniu

The Faniteum building in Vienna was built between 1894 and 1896 to a design by the Swiss architect Emmanuel La Roche, modified by Amanda Banque. It was founded by Karol Lanckoroński as an asylum for girls. The foundation was intended as a memorial to the founder's late wife Françoise (Fanita) von Attems-Heiligenkreuz. After the First World War the building was used as a children's refuge. In 1974, it was purchased by the Carmelite convent. The church was solemnly consecrated on 1 October 1977. Part of the building was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. It is a two-winged establishment with a central chapel covered by a dome. The buildings are brick, plastered with marked rustication. Inside there are several valuable artistic objects, including a terracotta statue from the early 16th century depicting Jesus Pantocrator.
