St. Peter's Church

Peterskirche
Austria, Vienna
St. Peter's Church in Vienna is located in the city center near the Hofburg Residence and St. Stephen's Cathedral. It was built in 1733 in the Baroque style in the likeness of St. Peter's Basilica. Outside, the domes of the temple have a beautiful emerald color, and from the inside they are decorated with numerous frescoes. Another attraction of the church is a luxurious organ.

The church building itself has an unusual oval shape, and the dome is painted in an interesting emerald color. For a relatively small building, inside the temple is richly decorated with frescoes, sculptures and gilded stucco, which worked on famous artists and sculptors of the time. The main altar is painted by Martino Altomonte, it depicts the healing of the lame by the Holy Apostles Peter and John. There are also side altars, balconies, above the entrance one of the most beautiful organs of Austria, the imperial coat of arms over the triumphal arch, and above the amazing dome decorated with frescoes by JM Rottmeier.

Every day, at exactly 3:00 pm, free organ music concerts are held in St. Peter's Church. It is better to come a little earlier, because there are practically no empty seats left by the beginning of the concert. The airiness of baroque in the interior of the church and multiplied by the beautiful sound of the organ are guaranteed to provide you with an unbearable lightness of being!

This is a baroque Catholic church. Outwardly quite modest, but inside is very beautiful. Very beautiful altar, magnificent dome, luxuriously decorated windows. This church is also notable for the fact that organ concerts are held in it. Here you can sit, relax, plunge from the hustle and bustle into harmony and silence, think about the eternal to the beautiful music.. .
