St. Carl's Church

The Church of St. Charles Borromay is located in Vienna. Built by an Austrian architect named Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. It is considered the most famous work of Austrian Baroque, which traces two influences – classical French and Italian.

The Church of St. Carl Karlskirche is the largest church in the city center. The architect built the sanctuary to thank his patron for saving Vienna from the plague. The building was truly imperial. Bernhard Fischer created the church by embodying the ideas that were enshrined in the sacred buildings – the Pantheon, the Jerusalem Temple, the St. Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul, St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome, etc. He was able to bring all the ideas to harmony and bring them into the Church of St. Charles Borromay. The most impressive and remarkable part of the church is a pair of large columns glorifying the life of Charles. The triumphal columns are decorated with wind themes.

The construction of the church of Karlskirche was completed by the son of the famous architect Fischer - Emmanuel Fischer.
