While my husband and I were on a tour of Salzburg, we had some free time on our own, and were walking towards the funicular which climbs up to the Fortress, when we happened upon St. Peter's Church, Abbey, Cemetery and Catacombs. It was amazing! The self guided tour of the Catacombs was especially enlightening. For those who love history and old architecture and learning about different cultures, don't miss this beautiful hidden treasure of Salzburg.

What it lacks in size compared to the Cathedral it makes up in height and design. It was originally the high vaulted section with the altar. An addition was made for more seating but it really gives the church an odd design. The best part is the original building with the high roof and tower. While the inside is beautiful with several side chapels and great stain glass, it is the vaulted ceiling and five support columns that make this a Salzburg MUST SEE. It is what distinguishes the church and makes it unique, along with is Gothic design in a Baroque city.

We walked to the Abbey from the Old Town, take the street past the Fenicular up to the Fortress and walk along the path up the hill for about 10 mins. The outside is exactly as it was in the SOM. Take a walk into the Church and wander through the outside to see all the graves of the nuns.

Austria is not short of photogenic churches but this has to be one of the best. It dominates the town and sits in a beautifully maintained churchyard. Next door is a very pretty building housing the war memorials, made more poignant by each name having a photo attached.
