St. Charles Church (Karlskirche) is one of Vienna's most striking Baroque churches and is located on Karlsplatz in the 4th district. It was built between 1716 and 1737 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and later by his son, Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. Commissioned by Emperor Charles VI as thanks for surviving the plague, it is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo. Architecturally, St. Charles Church combines Baroque splendor with Neoclassical and Byzantine elements. Particularly striking are the two tall columns on the facade, reminiscent of Trajan's Column in Rome, and the large dome with its impressive frescoes inside. A spacious square lies in front of the church, now a popular meeting place, and behind it stretches a small pond that picturesquely reflects the building in summer. St. Charles Church is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a center for concerts and cultural events, making it an important Viennese landmark.

St. Charles Church, Vienna St. Charles Church (4th district, Karlsplatz; parish church of "Saint Charles Borromeo" [1783 imperial patronal parish, served by the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross with the Red Star until 1959, since then by Premonstratensians from Geras Abbey, Lower Austria]: St. Charles (parish); see ground plan sketch). In fulfillment of a vow made by Charles VI during the plague epidemic on October 22, 1713, at St. Stephen's Cathedral, the foundation stone was laid on February 4, 1716, on a barren hill, only partially planted with vines, on the right bank of the barely regulated Vienna River (where the imperial lime kiln was located). Designs and models were provided by J. B. Fischer von Erlach (who received the commission on December 4, 1715), as well as J. L. von Hildebrandt and Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena. Construction was begun by him (1716-1723) and, after his death, completed by his son J. E. Fischer von Erlach (construction manager Erhard Martinelli) (1723-1739; completion of the shell in 1729). Deviations from the original plans include the steeper pitch of the dome, the omission of the chancel, and changes to the interior furnishings. Overall supervision was entrusted to Court Councilor Bartholomäus von Tinti. On July 10, 1717, General Building Director Gundacker Ludwig Joseph Count Althan assumed responsibility for the building inspection. On November 17, 1733, the church was handed over to the Order of the Holy Cross (from Prague), which had been summoned to Vienna by the Emperor. The first Mass was celebrated in solemn form in the presence of the Emperor on August 24, 1738, and the consecration took place on October 28, 1737, by Cardinal Sigismund Count Kollonitsch. In 1740, the Requiem Mass for Charles VI was celebrated here. St. Charles Church (Karlskirche) is the most important Baroque religious building in Vienna, Fischer's last church construction and also his masterpiece. All the crown lands contributed to the construction costs of 304,000 guilders; in addition, fines levied by the city of Hamburg after its mob vandalized the chapel of the Austrian legation were used.

Belvedere Museum Vienna | 300 years of the Belvedere In 2023, the Belvedere will celebrate the 300th anniversary of its construction. The summer residence of Vienna's most famous general, Prince Eugene of Savoy, was built over a period of ten years: in 1723, the complex was finally completed with the completion of the Upper Palace. Conceived from the outset as a place of art, the Belvedere was to remain so for the next 300 years - first as a place for the presentation of Prince Eugene's art collection, then as an exhibition space for the imperial art collections as one of the first public museums in the world - accessible with free admission from 1777. Another milestone was the founding of the Modern Gallery in 1903 in the Lower Belvedere. Text / Source: Belvedere, Prinz Eugen-Straße 27, 1030 Vienna https://www.belvedere.at/300-jahre-belvedere

History of the Belvedere The unique ensemble with the two palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, and the extensive garden is one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in the world. In the 18th century, the Austrian general Prince Eugene of Savoy commissioned the respected baroque architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt to build a summer residence. After Prince Eugene's death, Maria Theresa acquired the entire complex and made the Upper Belvedere the exhibition venue for the imperial collections - and thus one of the first public museums in the world. The Marble Hall offers an incomparable view of Vienna, where important historical events took place. The Lower Belvedere, originally Prince Eugene's home, hosts glamorous exhibitions. The modern pavilion of Belvedere 21 by architect Karl Schwanzer is the setting for contemporary art.

St. Charles Church (Karlskirche) is a rectoral church incorporated into the Order of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. The church is dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo (feast day November 4). From 1783 to 1918, it served as the patronal parish church of the Emperor and has been administered by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star from Prague since 1783. Only from 1959 to 1976 was it administered by the Premonstratensians from Geras Abbey, and from 1989 to 2000, when administration was taken over by the Personal Prelature of Opus Dei, there were temporary interruptions. The parish of St. Charles Borromeo, founded in 1783, was dissolved on December 31, 2016, and its territory was divided between the parish of Our Lady of the Good News and the parish of St. Roch and Sebastian. Since January 1, 2017, St. Charles Church (Karlskirche) has been a rectorate church, which continues to be served by the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross with the Red Star. https://www.erzdioezese-wien.at/karlskirche

A café and restaurant dating back to the Imperial era, featuring classic furnishings, a shaded terrace, and its own patisserie. A very good place to stop for a break.
