Address

On the south side of Karlsplatz, behind the pond in Resselpark

Two huge columns modelled on Trajan's Column flank the green dome, so it looks more temple than church. The shot everyone wants is the dome reflected in the pond out front, so the poolside fills up toward evening. The ticket covers a panorama terrace reached through the organ loft, the treasury and an audio guide. In the evenings the church often hosts Vivaldi's Four Seasons, one of the most popular concerts in town. As of autumn 2026 one of the columns is under restoration.
