The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a Roman Catholic church and a subsidiary church of the Rennweg parish church in Vienna's 3rd district, Landstrasse .

The church belongs to the hospital and monastery of the servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the address Landstraßer Hauptstraße 137 / Keinergasse 37 . In 2011, Landstraßer Hauptstraße was named in the area of the monastery and church on Viktor-Braun-Platz, the founder of the order located there. After acquiring the building site in 1903, it was built in 1904–1906 (laying of the foundation stone on May 8, 1904, church consecration on September 30, 1906 by Auxiliary Bishop Godfried Marschall ) based on designs by Gustav von Neumann (1859–1928) as a mighty neo-Romanesque basilica with a tower facade facing Landstrasse Hauptstrasse built. The interior of the church was not completed until 1922–1925 by the academic painter Franz Zimmermann and the ornament painter Hans Jakubetz and renovated in 1980–82. At the end of the Second World War, the top of the church tower was shot down; after the renovation in 1947/48, it had been reduced by seven meters to 65 meters. The organ was built by the Rieger brothers in 1907 and rebuilt in 1918 and 1966. In 2005 the interior was again restored and renovated and a new pipe organ was built into the existing case by Orgelbau M. Walcker-Mayer . A special feature are the cone chests , which the company made especially for the pedal mechanism .

The three-aisled church with an apse and the 68 meter high tower above the main portal is 39 meters long, ten meters wide in the central nave, five meters wide on the aisle and 21 meters high .
