The pension home church of St. Karl Borromäus is an institution church of the geriatric center Am Wienerwald of the municipality of Vienna in the district of Lainz in the 13th district of Hietzing .
Karl Borromeo Church
The neo-Romanesque exposed brick basilica with double-height and slightly projected double towers looks mighty towering behind a triple-stepped flight of stairs. The height is added to the width, because the church stands in the middle axis of a four-tier pavilion system in the first continuous row and is broadly integrated at the sides over the administration buildings connected to the left and right. In the central axis behind the church are the kitchen and other administrative buildings and the former monastery. The architectural unit of the central axis and the rows of pavilions was planned by the Vienna City Building Office by Rudolf Helmreich and Johann Nepomuk Scheiringer and built under Mayor Karl Lueger between 1902 and 1904.
Both towers are connected at the bottom by a three-arched arcade as an entrance with the above terrace with tracery parapet. There are sculptures depicting angels by Franz Vogl and Emmerich Alexander Swoboda. In the tower front on the second floor in round arch niches are the figures of St. Elisabeth and St. Karl Borromeo by Hans Rathausky . The gable of the nave has a large tracery window and an arched frieze as a border. On the gable is a cast zinc angel figure by Josef Heu . Bronze busts of well-deserved church building personalities by Georg Leisek serve as wedge stones in the tracery on the front of the church . In the tympanum of the main portal is a mosaic of the Holy Family from the Tyrolean stained glass institution.
The 3-aisled and 5-bay nave with open roof trusses are connected in the middle left and right with connecting tracts with staircases to the administration buildings. An apse chapel is added to the left and right of the choir. Wall painting by Franz Fischer. On the walls and the parapet of the organ gallery, coats of arms of the Viennese cooperatives by Hans Seidler. Glass painting from the Tyrolean Glass Painting Establishment and the Geyling company .
The high altar and the marble pulpit from the construction period are by Eduard Hauser , the triptych by Hans Zatzka . Side altars on the end walls of the side aisles with figures by Theodor Khuen . Angel figure by Josef Baumgartner above the sound cover of the pulpit. The organ, which is housed in a neo-Romanesque case, comes from Franz Josef Swoboda . Crossway reliefs by Theodor Khuen. Carpentry work, such as church stalls, confessional and filigree communion grids by Alexander Knotz.
Former chapels in the geriatric center
The former monastery building with a former chapel in the upper rear area of the central axis is used as an administration building.
The morgue with the former Protestant blessing chapel with dome on the northernmost edge of the entire complex is not used. The floral stained glass windows are by Andreas Seipl. The stencil painting and the starry sky are original. The carved altar with stone crucifix is the work of Josef Heindl.
