Peterskirche

~Peterskirche or St. Peter’s Church was off of the main shopping strip. It set further back from the shops, and it looks like a baroque style church. It has very similar architecture to the Schottenstift. These similarities are in the inlayed statues, stucco, windows, and arches. The statues on the façade are of the four apostles. A difference that makes me think it not classical architecture is the very large dome. There are also two small peaks to each side of the large dome. The peaks and dome are green in color and have crosses on the top of them. The color of the church is white with beige. The other major difference between the two churches is the entranceway. Over the door is heavy ornamentation. There is an inscription above the door that says, “What I vow to the Lord for my salvation that will I fulfill”. There are colors of white, black, and gold, and a statue that sits on top of the entranceway.
