This is the Karlskirche (Church of St. Charles Borromeo) in Vienna. I found it during a short trip into the town after the sessions at the conference were finished for that day. I kinda ran into it by accident, barely seeing the tops of the towers as I crossed the Karlsplatz on my way to the Secession. Unfortunately, there was a service in session, so I couldn’t go up into the dome, which might have been a good thing since I hardly made it back in time for the conference reception as it was…
However, it’s a pity that most churches in Vienna close their doors to visitors at around 6pm – spending the day at a conference leaves little time to see most of them from the inside.
This panorama was stitched from 3 portrait shots. I had originally taken 5 shots, but it was beyond my computer to be able to stitch all of them together. Ah well, the stuff to the left and right would have been boring anyway.
Here’s another shot of the Karlskirche in Vienna during sunset, this time a vertorama of two landscape shots.
The church also houses a museum, albeit a very small one. I got in for free for some reason – usually they seem to charge a fee. Would’ve been irritated, though, because that museum wasn’t really worth any fee…
