The Abbey Church of St. Peter in Salzburg is one of the oldest churches in the German-speaking world and the heart of St. Peter’s Benedictine Abbey, founded around 696 by Saint Rupert. With its unique blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture, the church reflects centuries of artistic evolution and cultural influences. Highlights include the early Baroque high altar, the intricately carved pulpit, and elegant stucco decorations on the vaulted ceilings.
