St. Peter's Church (Peterskirche)
St. Peter's Church (Peterskirche), Vienna. Petersplatz 6, 1010 Wien, Austria
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 (See Ruprechtskirche). That Roman church was built on the site of a Roman encampment. A church of Saint Peter in Vienna is first mentioned in 1137. The construction of the new Baroque church was begun around 1701 under Gabriele Montani, who was replaced by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1703. Around the end of the 12th century, the church became part of the Schottenstift.
