Majestic Charles Church Vienna

Charles Church Vienna, also known as Karlskirche, is a significant landmark built between 1716 and 1739, inspired by a vow made by Emperor Karl VI after the 1713 plague.

This Baroque cathedral features a massive elliptical copper dome reaching 72m and decorative elements by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and his son Joseph. Visitors can ascend the 32.5-meter high platform to view stunning frescoes by Johann Michael Rottmayr. Its twin columns, modeled after Trajan’s Column in Rome, depict the life of St. Charles Borromeo.
