Peacefully nestled at the foot of the Mönchsberg, Margarethenkapelle and the adjacent Petersfriedhof create an enchanting ensemble steeped in Salzburg’s ecclesiastical legacy. Petersfriedhof, dating back to the 8th century, is one of Europe’s oldest Christian burial grounds, adorned with intricate wrought-iron headstones and artfully carved tombstones amid lush greenery. The cliffside catacombs, carved into the rock, add to the site’s atmosphere of quiet reverence. Margarethenkapelle, a modest Gothic chapel nearby, offers a glimpse of medieval artistry with its serene interior and delicate frescoes. Exploring these sacred spaces rewards visitors with a tranquil retreat from Salzburg’s bustling streets.
