In 1713, the Black Plague swept Vienna, and Emperor Charles VI made a vow: if the plague abated, he would build a church dedicated to his namesake, St. Charles Borromeo. St. Charles was a 16th-century Italian bishop famous for ministering to Milanese plague victims. The emperor's prayer was answered, and construction on the church began in 1715.
The Karlskirche was built in the early 18th century on what was then the bank of the River Wien and is now the southeast corner of the park complex. The Baroque master Johann Bernard Fischer von Erlach did the original work from 1716 to 1722.
After his death in 1723, his son, Joseph Emanuel, took over, completing it in 1737. The lavishly decorated interior stands as a testament to the father-and-son duo. J. M. Rottmayr painted many of the frescoes inside the church from 1725 to 1730.

The Danube is Austria's principal river and the longest in Europe after the Volga. Although barely more than 300km/185mi of the river's total course of some 2,900km/1,800miles - from its source in South Germany to its outflow into the Black Sea in Romania - lie within Austria, the names of Austria and the Danube are so closely linked that it is difficult to think of the one without the other. As the only major European waterway flowing from west to east, the Danube has for thousands of years played an important part in the history of the many peoples through whose territory it flowed. It marked out the route of the great military highway which ran from the Rhine to the Black Sea; the Romans built a series of fortified camps such as Vindobona and Carnuntum along the valley; the legendary Nibelungs came this way; and here, too, passed the Celts, Charlemagne's Franks, Frederick Barbarossa's Crusaders and finally Napoleon. In the opposite direction, going upstream, Attila led his Huns towards France and the Avars and Hungarians pressed into western Europe. Great battles which decided the fate of Europe have been fought on the banks of the Danube: twice the West withstood Turkish assaults at Vienna, and at Aspern (now within the city limits of Vienna) Napoleon suffered his first defeat in 1809. The Danube and the regions along its banks have become threatened by attack from chemical waste and by the power stations which affect the water-balance. As a result, in recent years the idea of making the area below Vienna a protected national park has attracted considerable support; however, the problem of finance is as yet unsolved. Between the German frontier at Passau and the Upper Austrian town of Linz the Danube describes a series of great loops in the forest-fringed valley between the Mühlviertel to the north and the Innviertel to the south. Below Linz lies the Strudengau, a wooded defile between Ardagger and Ybbs, and beyond this, extending to Melk, stretches the Nibelungengau, with the conspicuous pilgrimage church of Maria Taferl. The best-known stretch is perhaps the Wachau, with a series of ancient little towns between Melk and Krems. Just beyond this, through the Tullner Basin, lies Vienna, and the low-lying area which extends eastward to Hainburg and Bratislava (the Czech Republic) begins to take on the aspect of the Hungarian puszta.

Overlooking Passau to the north is the Veste Oberhaus. This is the former castle of the prince bishops, and was built in stages between 1250 and 1482, finally achieving the large buildings you see today. The bishops left the building in 1802, and Napoleon I used it as a base for attacking Austria. It was also used by the Bavarian and Austrian armies, and used as a prison. Since 1932 it has been a history museum for Passau. As well as displaying the history of the building, it also covers the history of Passau and the region, and has an art exhibition of local artists. There is a restaurant in the building. The museum is open year-round and has an entrance fee.

The Hungarian Parliament Building (Hungarian: Országház, literally country house) is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies in Lajos Kossuth Square, on the bank of the Danube, in Budapest. It is currently the largest building in Hungary. Similar to the Palace of Westminster, the Parliament Building is in the Gothic Revival style; it has a symmetrical facade and a central dome. It is 268 m (879 ft) long and 123 m (404 ft) wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms (including more than 200 offices). With its height of 96 m (315 ft), it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest, along with Saint Stephen's Basilica. The number 96 refers to the nation's millennium, 1896, and the conquest of the later Kingdom of Hungary in 896. The main façade faces the River Danube, but the official main entrance is from the square in front of the building. Inside and outside, there are altogether 242 sculptures on the walls.

En 1767, une cour d'honneur à trois côtés est construite par l'ouverture à partir d'une forme de base irrégulière qui s'étend vers la ville, aujourd'hui la Josefsplatz. En 1769, Nicolò Pacassi façonne en forme de U la façade de la bibliothèque devant la salle de la Redoute sur le côté droit et devant l'église des Augustins sur le côté gauche, créant ainsi un lieu digne du monument impérial de l'empereur Joseph II. Le quatrième côté de cette place est fermé en 1783 et 1784 par le palais néo-classique Fries-Pallavicini et le palais Pálffy.
Schloss Neuburg on the Danube. Neuburg an der Donau, Bavaria, Germany.
he original castle was built in the early Middle Ages by the Agilolfings. This was acquired by the Wittelsbach dukes in 1247.
When Count Palatine Otto Henry began his rule in Palatinate-Neuburg in 1522, he found a medieval fortified castle in his residence city of Neuburg, which, unlike similar than other royal residences was still not adjusted for the demands of a modern royal court. So from 1527 he ordered to re-design the castle into a Renaissance palace and to expand the artistic quality and condition to one of the most important palaces of the first half of the 16th Century in Germany.
Today the castle houses a gallery of baroque paintings, the museum is under supervision of the Bavarian State Picture Collection.
Brilliant summer weather during my Danube cycle. Day 4.
A lot of people don't like distortion in their photos. I don't mind. Sometimes I even like them. Like for instance here. The view through a wide angle lens makes the bridge look so massive and majestic, exactly the look I was going for :). This is of course it's the New Bridge in Bratislava, anybody viewing my photos regularly, has definitively recognized it :)

In 1713, one year after the last great plague epidemic, Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, pledged to build a church for his namesake patron saint, Charles Borromeo, who was revered as a healer for plague sufferers. An architectural competition was announced, in which Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach prevailed over, among others, Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. Construction began in 1716. After J.B. Fischer's death in 1723, his son, Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, completed the construction in 1737 using partially altered plans. The church originally possessed a direct line of sight to the Hofburg and was also, until 1918, the imperial patron parish church.

View from the Buda Royal Castle, Budapest, August 30, 2011
The Danube is the second longest river in Europe. It flows for a distance of 2845 km, passing through 10 countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
In 2016 I cycled the length of Danube, starting in Donaueschingen in Germany and finishing in Constanta in Romania. Unforgettable experience of varying landscapes, routes, paths and roads, languages, food, people.
I took this photo on the first day of proper cycling, 30 km into 3000 of the whole journey.
Black Forest, Germany.
Railway bridge on the Danube, Bratislava (Hungarian: Pozsony, German: Preßburg or Pressburg, Medieval Latin: Posonium, Old Slavic: Prešporok ), Slovakia
The city had various names during its history. Internationally it was called Pressburg because of its German name. The name Bratislava was created in 1837, but it only become the official name after WW1. (Some local residents tried to rename it Wilson City during the peace negotiations after WW1.)
Hungarians conquered the early Slav settlement in the 9th century. This castle became an administrative center of the Kingdom of Hungary. The city became the capital of Hungarian Kingdom during the Turkish wars. Several administrative functions were moved to Buda in the late 18th century. Part of the Baroque city, including the Grassalkovich palace, was built in this period.
The Slovak nationalist movement was also born here. The first Slovak novel and newspaper (Presspurske Nowiny) were published here.
Part of the historical city center (like the National Theater) was built during the years of prosperity in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Bratislava became the political center of Slovakia during the First Czechoslovak republic. It was declared capital of First Slovak Republic almost 20 years later in 1939. After WW2, by the recreation of Czechoslovakia, it become the most important city of Slovakia. Almost 30 years later Czechoslovakia was federalized and Bratislava became the capital of the Slovak Socialist Republic in 1968. Following the Velvet Divorce, Bratislava become the capital of Slovakia.
