Karlskirche

Baroque imperial confidence — a hellenistic dome flanked by Trajan-style columns telling the story of Saint Charles.

Why this matters

  • Dome rises 72 m over a hemisphere echoing Hagia Sophia
  • Two giant columns carved with reliefs (rare in church architecture)
  • Frescoed ceiling by J.M. Rottmayr depicts the apotheosis of St. Charles Borromeo
  • Commissioned in 1713 as a thanks-offering after the last Vienna plague
