The Evangelische Pfarrkirche in Bad Ischl was built in 1881 to serve the Protestant community that gathered around Emperor Franz Joseph’s summer court. For 66 years, Franz Joseph used the Kaiservilla as his summer residence; the annual Imperial Court migration brought enough Protestant nobility and officials to require a dedicated church in an otherwise Catholic spa town. Free entry; Bahnhofstrasse 5, near the train station; check evangbadischl.at for hours. A footnote in Bad Ischl’s imperial history, but a revealing one about who spent time here.
