The cathedral and parish church of Saints Peter and Paul, also known as Klagenfurt Cathedral, is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt and the main parish church of Klagenfurt. It was built by Protestants and dedicated to the Holy Trinity in 1581, and was the largest Protestant church in Austria at that time. The cathedral was commissioned by Christoph Windisch, Klagenfurt' s first mayor. In 1600, during the Counter-Reformation, it was given to the Jesuits and rededicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul. The church was razed to the ground by a fire and had to be rebuilt in 1724. Bishop Franz Xaver von Salm-Reifferscheidt made it the cathedral of the Diocese of Gurk in 1787.
