    St. Charles Church is one of the finest churches of the High Baroque period. It was started to build by the architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and finished in 1739 by his son Joseph Emanuel. You can climb up the tower to have a great view on the city. Because of restoration the church was closed during my stay.

    A exquisite Baroque church designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The interior of the church and frescoes in the cupola are pure baroque. During Christmas time there is a market in front of the chuch.

    The photo shows the old Wagner Pavilion at Karlsplatz. Otto Wagner was an Art Nouveau architect. He constructed the underground rail in some sections around 1900.

    KARLSKIRCHE was built in honor of St Charles Borromeo (1538-84). He was the Archbishop of Milan & was chosen to be the patron saint of Emperor Charles VI's new church built in 1716-37. Karlskirche was dedicated to St. Charles to mark the end of the plaque epidemic in Vienna in 1713. St. Charles was made a hero when he took care of the city's (Milan) plague victims without regard to his own health in 1576

    “It is possible to be progressive in art by very simple means and by keeping to useful and economic conditions as well.” — Otto Wagner, (1841–1918), on his approach to design Train Stop In 1892 Otto Wagner was commissioned to design the stations for Vienna’s newly developed metro system. For the Karlsplatz stop he designed two facing pavilions of gilded metal and marble. The sunflower, Wagner’s favorite, is the dominant motif (see photos for details of these pavilions). Completed in 1898 but no longer used by riders today, in warm weather, one pavilion serves as a café, the other as an art gallery dedicated to their pioneering architect/designer. The 100-year-old design meets the standard of a classic: timeless, yet, fresh. Two otherwise utilitarian buildings have been transformed into an enduring work of art. Charming!
