Following Rick Steve's Vienna City walking tour, we stepped off of Graben to tour St. Peter's Church. The text in the travel guide did not prepare me for what I was about to see, although you can see that there is fair warning.
Leopold I also ordered this church to be built as a thank-you for surviving the 1679 plague. The church stands on the site of a much older church that may have been Vienna's first (or second) Christian church. Inside, St. Peter's shows Vienna at its Baroque best. [Steves] [emphasis added]
