Peterskirche (St. Peter`s Church),

The Peterskirche is the second-oldest church in Vienna and the city`s finest example of Baroque church architecture.St. Peter`s is thought to occupy the oldest Christian sacred site in Vienna, as a church has stood here since the second half of the 4th century. According to legend, Charlemagne founded a larger church here in 792.

The present St. Peter`s Church was constructed by Gabriel Montani from 1702 to 1708. Hildebrandt, the noted architect of the Belvedere Palace, finished the building in 1732.
