St. Peter's Abbey Church, as the church of St. Peter's Archabbey, once housed the tomb of Saint Rupert. Today it is empty, but preserved.

Thus, the church is also a special destination on the St. Rupert Pilgrimage Trail.

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.
