Welcome to St. Charles’ Church [ Karlskirche ]
Dominating the Karlsplatz is one of Vienna's greatest buildings, the Karlskirche, built in the early 18th century and dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo. At first glance, the church seems like a fantastic vision, one blink and you half expect the building to vanish. For before you is a giant Baroque church framed by enormous freestanding columns, mates to Rome's famous Trajan's Column. The main interior of the church utilizes only the area under the dome and is surprisingly conventional given the unorthodox facade.
