Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, Dillingen, Baroque basilica in Dillingen an der Donau, Germany
The Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul is a Baroque church in Dillingen an der Donau featuring three naves with graceful vaulted ceilings and columns. The interior is filled with religious artwork, altars, and decorative elements typical of Counter-Reformation church design.
Construction of the current structure began in 1619 under court architect Hans Alberthal, replacing earlier churches that stood on the site since medieval times. The tower was added in 1669, completing the church's visual form that remains today.
The basilica houses one of Europe's finest modern organs and hosts the international concert series Dillinger Basilikakonzerte throughout the year.
The basilica is centrally located in Dillingen and easily accessible on foot from the town center. Visitors should plan around regular religious services, as access may be limited during ceremonies and special liturgical events.
The basilica houses one of Europe's most advanced pipe organs, heard during regular concert series held throughout the year. This makes it an important music venue beyond its role as a place of worship.
