The Greek Church of the Holy Trinity (also: Church of the Holy Trinity) is an Orthodox church in the 1st district of Vienna Inner City at Fleischmarkt 13 in the former "Greek Quarter".

It is the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Austria Exarchate of Hungary and Central Europe of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, while the Church of St. George on Hafnersteig is the representation in the Greek Oriental Church in Austria.

As early as 1782, the Count's Stockhammer's house is said to have been converted into a simple Greek church. The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity was founded in 1787 as a result of the tolerance patent issued by Emperor Joseph II in 1781. While the parish of St. George represented the subjects of the Ottoman Empire in Vienna, the members of the Holy Trinity were subjects of the Habsburgs and, after 1848, of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1837 the community acquired a plot of land adjacent to the Sankt Marxer Friedhof and set up its own department on it.

Greek Church of the Holy Trinity, Vienna

The Greek-Oriental (until 1864 Greek non-uniate; Greek Orthodox) church (building; 1st, Fleischmarkt 13). The Church of the Holy Trinity of the Greek Orthodox and imperial subjects - in contrast to the parish of St. George of the Ottoman subjects - was bought by Count Joseph von Stockhammer in 1782. In 1787 the building was converted into a church by Peter Mollner. In 1796 the privileges of the parish were renewed and confirmed by Emperor Franz II. It was permitted to build a bell tower and an entrance to the old Fleischmarkt. Originally, non-Catholic churches were not allowed to have street portals, towers and bells due to Joseph II's Patent of Toleration.

In 1858-1861 the church was extended by a porch designed by Theophil Hansen in Byzantine forms. A large part of the costs for this were borne by the banker Simon Georg Freiherr von Sina, also in his capacity as royal Greek ambassador in Vienna. Personal relationships arose from the fact that Hansen had worked in Athens for many years. Sina, (whose palace) was located at 1, Hoher Markt 8, had a house (1, Fleischmarkt 20-22) built not far from the church by Ernest Koch in 1823-1825.

A bit of the Orient in Vienna - the Greek Church of the Holy Trinity. The Griechengasse down towards the Danube Canal is also beautiful with the window café and the Griechenbeisl as one of the oldest restaurants in Vienna (right next to the church).

"The Church of the Holy Trinity of the Greek Orthodox and imperial subjects - in contrast to the parish of "Zum Heiligen Georg" of the Ottoman subjects - was bought by Count Joseph von Stockhammer in 1782. In 1787 the building was converted into a church by Peter Mollner. In 1796 the privileges of the parish were renewed and confirmed by Emperor Franz II. It was permitted to build a bell tower and an entrance to the old meat market. Originally, non-Catholic churches were not allowed to have street portals, towers and bells due to Joseph II's Patent of Toleration."
