We've visited many churches, baroque ones. But this one had a special grandeur, with mighty and massive furnishings. The entrance is from centuries past. One feels the history and sees the centuries of architecture before one's eyes. I thought catacombs were under ground, but in this case, one walks up and appreciates the immense effort of crafting places of worship from the massive mountain. Taking in the details of the memorials in the cemetary was very interesting. Many beautiful markers. All in all, an inspiring visit.
While walking about the old city we ventured into this building to find the normal magnificent interior. Certainly worth the visit but include it in a stroll around the old town
We visited many churches in Europe and this was the most spectacular interior of them all. First seeing the frescos contrasting the pure white ceiling with the light blue scrollwork running the full length of this majestic sanctuary is something I will never forget. It is so beautiful that it doesn't seem like it can be real. As far as a tourist visiting a church, there obviously isn't a lot to do, but to come to Salzburg and not see this - I don't know if that really even counts as coming to Salzburg. The cemetery is also interesting, and just steps away, the catacombs are not very extensive, but as part of this visit I was happy to pay the 1 Euro fee to enter the catacombs.
If you've seen the movie Sound of Music, you'll recognize the graveyard where they hid at the end of the movie. On our visit, we were able to walk around the seemingly spooky but interesting graveyard.
impressive how it was possible at the time of the building of this church to create such beauty as the total city is. Very much in need of spending time in it, more that 2 days for sure. There are lovely inexpensive hotels and guesthouses in Ruhpolding, just 30 min drive to down town
We walked through the garden and graveyard before having lunch. It was beautiful and spooky at the same time. The sky was overcast so that helped the set the mood. It is a very interesting olace.
The abbey, graveyard, and catacombs are worth visiting. Doesn't take too long to see. It must have been a challenge to carve out the catacombs.
When you walk into the graveyard you'll immediately notice the iron gates of the tombs copied in the Sound of Music. It's interesting how in the movie they make it look like this cemetery is in Nonnburg Abbey when its actually quite a distance from there. The graveyard is peaceful and if you've never seen Austrian headstones - they are interesting and pretty for a different cultural experience. The interior of the church is quite beautiful with white walls and gold finishing. I loved the side alters that went all the way down to the main alter in marble. The ceiling was very beautiful with the painting and surrounding white. Some of the paintings were very dark in contrast to the white church and there were a few tombs to the sides of the church.Overall I definitely recommend it. St. Peter's is historic and the SOM connection is always a plus.
圣彼得修道院位于萨尔茨堡旧城区僧侣山的悬崖下,修道院教堂入口处感觉很古老,应该是留下最初罗曼式的部分,内部空间不很大,在18世纪改成为洛可可式,天顶和墙上的装饰及画非常华美。主祭坛和各个小祭坛的装饰和画也灿烂夺目,值得一看。
