Friedhof St. Peter

Friedhof St. Peter

St. Peter Bezirk, Salzburg, Austria

 

Salzburg's most famous poet Georg Trakl about St. Peter's Cemetery: "Heaven smiles silently upon this mystical garden." Strong words of course, but the poet is right. As a matter of fact, this wonderful cemetery is one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Famous personalities like Michael Haydn, brother of Joseph Haydn and composer, Mozart's sister, Nannerl, and the architect of Salzburg's Cathedral Santino Solari have all been laid to rest here. There are also catacombs carved out of stone, which are over 1000 years old. Tip: Just take a walk there and feel the mystical atmosphere. The entrance is free.
