St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg was founded by Saint Rupert in 696 for the mission to the South Alps and is thus considered one of the oldest monasteries in the German-speaking world, if not in fact the oldest. Until 987 the office of bishop was joined to that of abbot: the two were always held together by one man.
With the scary necropolis which is well worth a wonder round, especially if it's a dull rainy day which only adds to the atmosphere.
