Gazing at the Daghofer Kapelle, have you ever pondered its connection to Salzburg’s oldest cemetery? The Daghofer Kapelle stands near St. Peter’s Cemetery. This cemetery, nestled at the foot of the Festungsberg, traces its origins back to 700 AD. It shares its ancient history with the nearby Nonnberg Abbey burial site. The Daghofer Kapelle and St. Peter’s Cemetery are integral parts of St. Peter’s Abbey. This abbey, founded by Saint Rupert of Salzburg, is the oldest existing monastery in the German-speaking world. The cemetery, possibly built upon an even earlier burial ground, was first documented in 1139. The oldest tombstone within the cemetery dates back to 1288. Within the cemetery grounds, a late Gothic structure known as the Margarethenkapelle stands as a prominent feature. It serves as a mortuary chapel and reflects the rich history of St. Peter’s Cemetery and the Daghofer Kapelle.
