Salzburg, Austria - St. Peter's Catacombs, Graveyard & Abbey
Austria's oldest, continuous-use Christian cemetery (since 1627), known as Petersfriedhof (St. Peter's Cemetery) and also includes the ancient catacombs used by early Christians. Contains St. Peter's Abbey/Monestary and was featured in the film Sound Of Music. Many notables (such as Mozart's sister Nannerl) and aristocrats of Salzburg are buried here.
The Catacombs Salzburg, Petersfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria.
The Catacombs in the grounds of St Peters in Salzburg (the grounds were used a model for a scene from the Sound of Music) are an odd affair.
These are not the catacombs of Paris which are simply mind blowing, the Catacombs Salzburg are just a weird piece of old engineering, where two small chapels have been created in caves in the cliff face behind a cemetery and joined together with stairs. Very old and a little creepy, worth seeing but not a Salzburg highlight.

St. Peter's Monastery & Cemetery & Catacombs in Salzburg Austria
St. Peter's Monastery & Cemetery & Catacombs
Unique and Beautiful St. Peter's Cemetery Salzburg, Austria
St. Peter's cemetery is more than just a cemetery with churches or chapels, and catacombs to visit. This famous attraction also known as Petersfriedhof is the oldest Christian graveyard in Salzburg (1627) and would be a famous attraction for that and its beauty.
But we, as well as most visitors, came to see where the Von Trapp family hid in The Sound of Music! To jog your memory, Mother Superior hid them among the gated crypts from the Nazis. However, the Musical took liberty with the facts. The Von Trapps had time to put their affairs in order and then serenely drive across the mountains into Switzerland. Ah well, even if that was a bit of fiction, St. Peter's Cemetery is worth visiting.
Salzburg - St. Peter's Abbey & Cemetery & Catacombs
Since St. Peter’s was founded in the 7th century, the church and abbey have been the spiritual heart of the city of Salzburg. Aside from its striking Christian architecture, the cemetery and catacombs are also a must-see for fans of “The Sound of Music”.
Lasting Impressions: The Catacombs
A highlight of St. Peter’s Cemetery are the catacombs, which are hewn out of the Mönchsberg itself and date back to late antiquity. The mystical caves served both as hermitages as well as burial sites. These Early Christian catacombs may be visited year-round. The entrance is located at the graves of Mozart’s sister Nannerl and Michael Haydn. After 48 steps you find “Gertrauden Chapel”, dating back to 1178. 36 further steps up lies the “Maximus Chapel”.Entrance is free with the Salzburg Card.
Historical Background
The church and abbey of St. Peter’s were founded by the Frankish missionary Rupert. Particularly remarkable is the fact that the monastic brotherhood of that time still exists, making it the oldest monastic order in the German-speaking world today. After several fires, the church and abbey were restored in a number of different eras, the architecture now incorporating Romanesque, Renaissance and Rococo elements.
The “Long Gallery” of St. Peter’s Abbey
In the 17th century, St. Peter’s Abbey built the “Long Gallery” at the request of Prince-Archbishop Guidobald von Thun in order to house a painting collection. In Italian style, the corridor features windows on the one side and a continuous wall for paintings on the other. Today, the “Long Gallery” is accessible to the general public as part of the DomQuartier tour.
St. Peter’s Cemetery
With its unique setting, the cemetery of St. Peter’s is one of the world’s most beautiful and oldest cemeteries. Surrounding the Late Gothic St. Mary’s Chapel in the center of the cemetery, numerous gravestones and burial vaults contribute to the captivating atmosphere. Famous personalities, artists, scholars and merchants found their final resting place here, including Nannerl, Mozart’s sister.
St. Peter’s and “The Sound of Music”
International guests know the cemetery and the catacombs as a famous backdrop for the Hollywood movie “The Sound of Music”. Pursued by the National Socialists, the Trapp family fled through St. Peter’s Cemetery, finding a secure hiding place in the dark rocky recesses before ultimately escaping safely to Switzerland.
Music at St. Peter’s
Mozart and Haydn both have close ties to St. Peter’s. In 1769, the thirteen-year-old Mozart composed his “Dominicus Mass” for the abbot, while just a few years later Michael Haydn was commissioned by the abbey to write his “Rupert Mass”. Today, the Baroque Hall at Stiftskeller St. Peter as well as the Romanesque Hall are regularly used for concert events including “Mozart Dinner Concerts”.

Katakomben in Salzburg
Am Rand des Salzburger Petersfriedhofs befinden sich erhöht die Katakomben, die in den Festungsberg gehauen wurden. Sie sind höchstwahrscheinlich spätantik-frühchristlichen Ursprungs und dienten trotz ihres Namens nicht als Begräbnisstätten sondern wohl als frühchristliche Versammlungsorte. Hier ein Eindruck von Matthias J. Lange von redaktion42.

Salzburger Altstadt (Salzburg Old Town) - Austria
Vibrant, historic and romantic are just a few of the words to describe beautiful Salzburger Altstadt (Old Town) area of Salzburg, Austria. If you have ever seen the film The Sound Of Music you will likely see some locations used in this video.
As is usual with my videos, Ed does the narration; we take turns filming scenes and yours truly then edits and puts it all together.
Be sure to check out the other related Salzburg videos I've done where I concentrate on just the fortress, another on the catacombs of St. Peter's Church and another on the Mirabell Gardens, with yet another on the nearby Untersberg mountain massif.
Our visit there was during the first week of October 2012.
