Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

An exterior rendering for the Vienna Austria Temple was released today. The two-story, 15,300-square-foot temple will be constructed on the 0.8-acre site of a meetinghouse located at Silbergasse 2 in Vienna. It will be the first temple built in Austria. A groundbreaking date has not yet been announced. Nearly 4,700 members of the Church reside in the country.

Preliminary construction activities have been carried out over the past few months at the Vienna Austria Temple site. Core samples of the soil have been retrieved, and groundwater measuring equipment has been installed. Core samples are analyzed to determine the bearing capacity of the ground, giving engineers the information needed to design an appropriate foundation. The temple's location was announced five months ago. No groundbreaking date has been announced.

A news release has announced that the Döbling Ward meetinghouse site will become the location of the Vienna Austria Temple. The 0.80-acre property is located at Silbergasse 2 in Vienna. Plans call for a multistory temple of approximately 15,300 square feet. It will be the first temple built in the country. An exterior rendering and groundbreaking date will be released later.
