The Karlskirche, Church of St. Charles Borromeo, Vienna, Austria
The Karlskirche (German for St. Charles's Church) is a church situated on the south side of Karlsplatz, Vienna. It is located on the edge of the 1st district, 200 metres outside the Ringstraße. It is one of the most outstanding baroque church structures north of the Alps, and boasts a dome in the form of an elongated ellipsoid.
Ever since Karlsplatz was restored as an ensemble in the late 1980s, the Karlskirche has garnered fame due to its dome and its two flanking columns of bas-reliefs, as well as its role as an architectural counterweight to the buildings of the Musikverein and of the Vienna University of Technology.
The church is cared for by a religious order and has long been the parish church as well as the seat of the Catholic student ministry of the Vienna University of Technology.
查理教堂（德语：Karlskirche）是奥地利首都维也纳的一座教堂，位于卡尔广场南侧，内城（第一区）的南部边缘，戒指路以外200米处。它是阿尔卑斯山以北最为人瞩目的巴洛克教堂建筑之一，拥有加长的椭圆形穹顶。
自从1980年代后期卡尔广场恢复了整体效果，查理教堂由于其穹顶和两侧刻有浅浮雕的圆柱获得了名声，并在建筑上与金色大厅和维也纳技术大学保持平衡。
