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.

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.

This section of the route is often used on my big Liesing tour, it's quite nice, partly sandy and usually very busy on the Liesing Bach promenade. But you'll also find several cozy places to stop for a bite to eat, a playground and lots of benches, but the highlight is cooling off in the Liesing. And during strawberry season there's a stall in Kledering.
