    A beautiful pond is in front of the church - and on a good day, you can see the reflection of the stately looking church over the simmering water. Also there is a sculpture by Henry More

    A must for anyone interested in architecture, the stunning Karlskirche mixes Austrian baroque and Oriental elements together. The central dome is classic, but the side pavillions resemble Chinese temples, the lanterns appear like a hybrid of the Trajan Column and a minaret. Inside, an elevator takes you to the top of the dome to admire the airy frescos.

    A superb example of the Jugendstil style (Art Nouveau), the two stadtbahn stations found in Karlsplatz were designed by Otto Wagner and Joseph Maria Olbrich (he of The Secession fame). They opened in 1899 as Akademiestrasse. But the change from stadtbahn to U-bahn in 1981 resulted in their closure as train stations. But they were saved from demolition and now one is a cafe and the second (pictured) is the Otto Wagner Pavilion, now part of the Wien Museum Karlsplatz.

    Although some renovation is going on outside, you can still enter the church (after paying a small fee) and see the frescos as well as take an elevator ride to the top of the cupola. This is a magnificent church first erected by baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and finished by his son Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach in 1739. The church is consecrated to the patron saint of the Habsburg emperor, Saint Charles Borromeo.

    An elevator will take you up most of the 72 meters for an upclose view of the Karlskirche dome. These celestial scenes were painted by Johann Michael Rottmayr. I was scared just walking up the steps once I got off the elevator--I cannot imagine what it was like painting the dome on rickety scaffolding back in the 1700s. Once you are at the top of the dome, you can look out the windows at sprawling Vienna--unfortunately the windows are covered by mesh, so the opportunity for quality photography is lackluster at best.

    Angels... guardian angels... Have u ever wonder who they are? Everyone has one or a few in his/her life. I met some of mine. My cousin Linda is one. A most beautiful & kind person. Unknowingly to her, she guided me many a times when I was down. Thanks, Linda! Richie once said I'm his guardian angel :-) That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Thanks, Richie! Who are your angels (or guardian angels) in life? Do u know? Do they know?

    As already said: Vienna is by far the Baroque capitol in the world and the summum of this Baroque can be found on the Karlsplatz (Charles Place): the Karlskirche (Charles Church). This church is a true masterpiece of architecture. The church is made of fine white stones and contrasts wonderfully with the green cuprum roof. The central dome rises up high in between two fine decorated columns. Don't hasitate to go inside, as the beauty here is even finer and more spectacular then the outsie already is.
