St. Peter's Abbey

Why go

The abbey connects an active Benedictine community with more than a millennium of Salzburg history. Its church interior, arcaded precinct and relationship to the cemetery make the complex more than a single facade. Visit respectfully and distinguish the abbey from Petersfriedhof: they work together, but each reveals a different part of the site.

What to look for

• The abbey church stands within a tight sequence of monastic courtyards.
• The precinct links directly to Petersfriedhof and the foot of Mönchsberg.

Useful to know

• Combine the church and cemetery, but check which monastic spaces are actually open to visitors.
