Augustiner Gate (Mönchsberg)

Highlight • Monument

In 1622 and 1623, Prince Archbishop Paris Count Lodron had cathedral master builder Santino Solari build the Augustinerpforte, together with the lowest defensive level, on the upper defensive level above the Monikapforte, which was built later. With the construction of the two defensive levels, the northern part of the Mönchsberg could also be included in the city's defense belt. In addition, the extensive defensive structure between Klausenkavalier in the east and Johanneskavalier (the Müllner Schanze) in the west, which reached down to Müllner Hauptstrasse, served to protect the Salzach from enemy attacks.

St. Peter’s Abbey Church, Salzburg

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Peter's Abbey, Salzburg
St. Peter's Abbey - Salzburg Archabbey
St. Peter's Abbey was founded in the 7th century and is considered the oldest existing monastery in the German-speaking world. In addition to the striking Christian buildings, St. Peter's Cemetery and the so-called catacombs are a major attraction for visitors to Salzburg.
St. Peter's Abbey and Abbey
The first monastery church of St. Peter was built in 696 by Rupert, Bishop of Worms. The present abbey was built in the 12th century and has been redesigned several times over the years, combining elements of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo. The historic main organ and the various chapels are particularly worth seeing. The St. Peter Museum and the Long Gallery are accessible via the DomQuartier.

Salzburg Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

In a devastating fire in 1598, the original cathedral of the city of Salzburg was so badly damaged that it decided to build a new building. After a construction period of 14 years, the new cathedral was inaugurated in 1628. Master builder was the Italian Santino Somari, who created a unique work of baroque architecture here.
