    The Collegiate Church of St. Peter is one of the most popular churches in the city of Salzburg. Many people associate emotional experiences with the collegiate church of St. Peter. Be it weddings, baptisms or funeral ceremonies.

    The center of our monastery is the collegiate church of St. Peter. The destroyed first abbey church was designed by Abbot Balderich in the style of the High Romanesque style. 1147, this still existing construction was inaugurated.

    Translated by
    The name derives from the first disciple and apostle, Simon, the fisherman from Galilee, Saint Peter (ancient Greek πέτρα = rock, stone, "On this rock I want to build my church") derived. It is an ancient tradition of the Roman Catholic Church that the first church in a mission area is named after St. Peter.
