St Peter's Archabbey Salzburg, Romanesque monastery in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria.
The monastery contains a three-nave basilica with Renaissance bronze chandeliers from 1609 and multiple altarpieces created by Martin Johann Schmidt.
Founded in 696 by Saint Rupert, St Peter's Archabbey stands as the oldest operating monastery in German-speaking regions and served as a center for missionary work.
The monastery houses Austria's oldest library, containing 100,000 volumes focused on Benedictine monasticism, church history, and regional documentation dating from 784.
The Abbey Church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, while the adjacent cemetery operates from 6:30 AM until 8:00 PM during summer months.
The Stiftskulinarium restaurant, first documented in 803, maintains its position as Central Europe's oldest dining establishment within the monastery grounds.
