St Charles' Church
Largest Baroque church north of the Alps, designed by the famous architect Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. Frescos done by Michael Rottmayr and paintings from the Italian Baroque painters Sebastiano Ricci and Giuseppe Antonio Pellegrini, and the Austrian painter Daniel Gran.
An original entrance building for the Wiener Stadtbahn railway station at Karlsplatz (now U-Bahn line U4), designed by Otto Wagner. It is a good example of functional turn of the century architecture – ornate, yet useful. Wagner was one of the most influential architects in Vienna and his style was widely copied. No longer used to access the station, the building now houses a small exhibition on Wagner and the Viennese urban improvements of the era.
This private foundation houses large collection of contemporary art, with a special focus on photograph, film, video, and installation pieces. The archives and library are also open to the public.
Built in the 17th century, the current appearance of the church is largely Baroque.
The cinema features art and non mainstream films. It also participates to smaller film festivals.
It has three different play stages: Theater Akzent, Podium im Akzent and Studio im Akzent.
