The dome of the Karlskirche next to the School of Architecture rises up to a external height of 70m and is internally covered in frescos over an area of 1,256m2. They have just been restored over a period of four years and the temporary platform and lift installed to allow this to happen has also been open for visitors. The painting themselves were executed in amazing detail by Johann Michael Rottmayr in c1736. The platform will be permanently removed in the next couple of months.
