Kajetanerkirche, Salzburg, Roman Catholic church in Kaiviertel, Salzburg, Austria
The Kajetanerkirche is a Baroque church in Salzburg featuring a broad, palace-like facade and a central oval dome. The building has two symmetrical wings and an entrance area with Corinthian columns framing the portal.
The site has been a place of pilgrimage and medical care since the 12th century. The Baroque church visible today was built later and replaced the earlier medieval structure.
The church is named after Saint Cajetan, a saint whose life was deeply connected to helping those in need. Visitors can still sense this spiritual commitment today through how the space is designed and used.
The church is accessible on foot and located in an easy-to-reach part of the old town. Visitors should be aware that certain areas are only open to the public during specific times.
Inside the building, there is a remarkable dome fresco by the artist Paul Troger dedicated to the church's patron saint. The artistic execution shows impressive craftsmanship from the Baroque era.
