Kollegienkirche, Salzburg
Kollegienkirche, Salzburg, Baroque church in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria
Kollegienkirche is a baroque church in Salzburg's old town, distinguished by its bright white interior walls and elegant architectural proportions. The building functions as both a university church and a parish church with a commanding dome and classical baroque design.
Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach designed this baroque structure, which was built between 1694 and 1707. Originally constructed to serve university students, the building evolved to support priestly education and local religious needs.
The church is known as a venue where visitors encounter both religious services and musical performances throughout the year. Its role as a cultural space has made it a place where faith and art come together in the community.
The church stands centrally at Universitaetsplatz 20 and is easily reached by several bus lines. Visitors should check opening times, as services and concerts may occasionally limit access to the interior.
In 1922, the church interior was used as a venue for the world premiere of Hugo von Hofmannsthal's "Das Salzburger große Welttheater". This remarkable moment showed how a religious space briefly transformed into a theatrical stage.
