The parish church of Breitenfurt bei Wien-St Boniface stands in the eastern part of the village, where the Bonifaziusgasse meets the Enzmannstraße. Built as a low church between 1968 and 1970 to plans by Clemens Holzmeister, it became the parish church in 1972. In 1990 an extension by Wolfgang Ullrich enlarged the building and turned it eastward.

Its cross-shaped plan carries a raised roof with windows, while the gable ends are marked by rows of piers or plain walls. A bell tower crowns the altar wall, which is pierced by slits of light. The parish house and clergy rooms are joined directly to the church.

Inside, the space is covered like a tent, its lighting carefully arranged. The free-standing altar wall is divided into three sections of unbroken masonry. Wall bowls made of ceramic were created by Gudrun Baudisch-Wittke.
