Stiftskirche St. Peter, Benedictine monastery church in Salzburg, Austria
The Stiftskirche St. Peter features a Romanesque basilica structure with a prominent tower, cross-nave, and dome modifications added through centuries of architectural evolution.
Founded in the 7th century by Saint Rupert, the church underwent major reconstruction between 1130 and 1143 under Abbot Balderich, establishing its core architectural framework.
The church interior contains ceiling paintings from 1764 by Johann Weiß depicting Saint Peter's life and numerous altars installed between 1774 and 1776.
The church opens daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and maintains regular religious services while allowing visitors to explore its architectural and artistic elements.
The high altar, created between 1777 and 1780 by Lorenz Härmbler, displays representations of Saints Peter, Paul, and Benedict in intricate detail.
