The huge church can be seen from afar and sits on a pedestal overlooking the Central Cemetery. The impressive building is also known as the “St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery Church”.

The church was built according to the plans of architect Max Hegele, a student of Otto Wagner, and was completed in 1911. The foundation stone was laid by the then mayor of Vienna, Dr. Karl Lueger. The Dr. Karl Lueger Memorial Church is not dissimilar to the church at Steinhof. Be sure to take a look inside.
