Description

Essentials about the Peterskirche in brief

Anyone crossing the Graben in Vienna’s Old Town should definitely make a detour to the directly adjacent Petersplatz (St. Peter’s Square), where the Roman Catholic Peterskirche (St. Peter’s Church) is one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in the city. It was built at the beginning of the 18th century according to plans by Lukas von Hildebrand. St. Peter’s Church is not only a beauty, but also quasi the oldest church in the city of Vienna, because already in the 4th century the first church of the city stood here in the area of the Roman camp Vindobona, of which, however, no visible remains are left.
