An incredible place to experience some high-brow classical culture. We attended the Vivaldi concert on a very hot night, but it was amazing! What a spectacularly opulent building.

The church itself is pretty impressive, just like many of Vienna's other grand architecture buildings. However, the installation of the modern lighting hanging down from the main ceiling feels very out of place and i must say, ruined the view of the beautiful ceiling painting. I understand some artist like to mixe old and new but to me, it doesn't seem to work very well here. It feels rather distracting in a negative way.

Interesting large baroque church near Vienna's Karlsplatz underground station. Currently displaying a fantastic neon sculpture by British artist Cerith Wyn Evans. Good views of the City from the platform accessed via a stone spiral staircase.
