Peterskirche

Peterskirche sits at Petersplatz 6 and was completed in 1733 to serve as a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church. The turreted dome was mainly designed by Matthias Steinl, who was also responsible for the interior decoration and the pews with their fabulous cherubic heads. Due to the confinement of available space, it was Completed in a very compact form, with its oval interior housing an astonishing amount of space and rectangular attachments. The oldest church building (of which nothing remains today) dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and there is speculation that it could be the oldest church in Vienna. Visiting hours are listed as: death. Mon-Sun (9am-6.30pm).
