St. Peter's Church, Baroque parish church in Innere Stadt, Austria
The white and yellow facade of St. Peter's Church features two curved towers and a central dome within the densely built streets of Vienna.
The current church building replaced an original structure from the 4th century after Emperor Leopold I ordered its reconstruction following the plague of 1679.
The church maintains regular organ performances at 3 PM daily, with additional choir concerts taking place in the underground vaults throughout the year.
Located at Petersplatz, the church opens from 8 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 7 PM on weekends, with space for 400 visitors.
The interior contains glass coffins displaying the remains of Roman catacomb martyrs, alongside gold stucco decorations and religious frescoes by Johann Rottmayr.
