Saint Charles Borromeo Church, Art Nouveau church in Vienna Central Cemetery, Austria
The Saint Charles Borromeo Church features a central dome adorned with 999 stars above its circular interior within Vienna Central Cemetery.
The church construction from 1908 to 1911 by architect Max Hegele marked a period of architectural innovation in early twentieth-century Vienna.
The church combines elements of multiple architectural traditions, incorporating references to Saint Peter's Basilica and Egyptian burial structures.
Visitors enter through the ground level to explore both the upper church section and the lower circular crypt containing burial niches.
The structure stands three meters above cemetery ground level, creating a distinct separation between the sacred space and burial grounds.
