The North Aisle.
The three-aisled St. Peter's Abbey Church was built in 1130-1143 replacing the burned Romanesque church. In the middle of the 17th and the 18th centuries it was made into a Baroque style.
In the splendid Rococo interior one can still see in some details the Romanesque original (in the staired portal, for example). Sixteen graduated marble altars lead in hierarchical order to the high altar (from Lorenz Hormbler), showing Peter, Paul and Benedict seeing intercession from the Mother of God. The church also houses numerous monuments including that of St. Rupert.
