In 1713, Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, made a commitment to construct a church dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, who was revered as a healer for those affected by the plague, one year after the last major outbreak. Construction started in 1716 under the guidance of Anton Erhard Martinelli. Following the passing of J.B. Fischer in 1723, the construction was finished by his son, Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, in 1737, who used some modified versions of the initial plans. The church originally had a clear view of the Hofburg and served as the imperial patron parish church until 1918. Since Karlsplatz was restored as an ensemble in the late 1980s, St. Charles Church Vienna has garnered fame because of its dome and its famous twin columns of bas-reliefs. The church is maintained by a religious group known as the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. For a long time, it has served as both the local parish church and the centre of Catholic student ministry for the Vienna University of Technology.
