St. Peter's Church

A beautiful church. I was here on a Thursday night catching a concert performed by a string quartet. The event lasted approximately one and a half hours, the acoustics were amazing and the surroundings were absolutely magnificent.

Very cute church that seems like it was tucked in the middle of all the building. The church is very pretty and ornate from the inside. You can go in anytime but we took a last minute opportunity to buy a concert ticket for the evening to enjoy the acoustic inside. We didn’t regret it at all. The concert was excellent for children and adults and the beauty of the church made it magical. I highly recommend visiting.

Magnificent Baroque masterpiece hidden in the heart of Vienna. From the outside, it’s elegant and compact, but the interior is rich frescoes, golden details, and an impressive dome create a grand and inspiring atmosphere.

This church is one of if not the best church we’ve been in over the years, the work put in, paintings, art work & decor & to listening to a quartet of strings playing Mozart is breath taking. Fantastic evening worth every penny but for those that go in the winter wrap up warm has there is no heating. Magical experience.

Dedicated to Saint Peter, this church is one of the oldest religious sites in Vienna, with records of an earlier church on this spot dating back to the 4th century. The present building was constructed between 1701 and 1733 in a rich Baroque style, with contributions by leading architects including Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. Its distinctive green copper dome is a prominent feature of Vienna’s skyline. While the exterior is relatively modest, the interior is lavishly decorated, filled with gilded stucco, frescoes, and dramatic Baroque ornamentation that create an intimate yet opulent atmosphere. In addition to regular Mass, the church is well known for its organ and classical music concerts.

Really beautiful church tucked into Vienna. It was packed the day I visited. I was able to file through and see all the ornate details and take in the ambience. I hope to come back again when it’s less crowded.

Beautiful baroque church. We saw a concert here, which they frequently arrange in the evenings. It was a beautiful setting.

We were there when there was a Mass during Christmas. It’s just absolutely amazing, gorgeous and ritual to see a Mass in St.Peter’s Church! Really highly recommend! I didn’t manage to buy the ticket to have a seat but I still could join standing. It was just really amazing and beautiful!
