my wife and I are big fans of the movie “The Sound Of Music,” and when we included Salzburg in our travel plans, we knew there would be several stops at filming locations. The basilica is outside of Salzburg proper, and easy to get to. There’s even free parking if you look hard enough. It will only take a few minutes to walk around inside, snap a few pics, and be on your way recommended

I visited this huge church whilst staying in the hotel next door. Mondsee is such a beautiful village by the lake and it is blessed with this wonderful church. Although most people will recognise this as the church where the wedding took place in the Sound of Music film, this is a beautiful place irrespective of that. It is much larger than one would expect from such a small population base. It is free to enter but they ask for 1 euro donation which is tiny for the experience.

How do you solve a problem like Maria? With these words ringing in our ears we arrived at the very church used in The Sound Of Music for the wedding between Maria and Captain Von Trapp. We were on a Sound of Music Tour that started from nearby Salzburg and this was one of our furthest destinations for the day. It’s certainly a pretty place with bright colours set against vibrant blue skies. We have a write up with opictures on our personal blog which can be found on our profile.

Wanted to visit this Basilika as it was used in the Wedding Scene from The Sound of Music. Free to entre, but donations of E1 per person are asked for. It is quite stunning and beautiful, but over the top. Glad that I have been, would just like to watch the film again

I was staying in a hotel which was neighbouring to this church. One Sunday I attended the church mass (Sunday ceremony), the priest of the church visited me after the mass at my hotel. He was so impressed to know that I am the first Hindu to attend his mass.
The priest discussed with me and later took me to his house and gave me a bicycle to travel to the surrounding places, he also had a horse and offered me a ride.

We were on a Christmas Market River Cruise with AMAWaterways and stopped here on the way to visit the Christmas Markets in Salzburg.
This gothic church was constructed in the 15th century. It became famous because the wedding scene in the "Sound of Music" was filmed here with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

We visited the Basilica St. Michael during our excellent "Sound of Music " tour with Bobs Tours. Its a lovely small group tour showing various places of interest in relation to The Sound of Music. It located in a beautiful town called Mondsee.
This gothic church was constructed in the 15th century.
It became famous because of the "Sound of Music" was filmed here with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. In the film, Maria, led by Liesl, walked down the aisle to meet the baron in front of the main altar.
The church is stunning with a very impressive interior.

Wow. It is simply stunning. You enter through the gift shop. It is a shame that the lady serving there doesn't actually enjoy her job. The Basilica is simply stunning. Rich, full of incredible detail & artworks. If you are into old Churches / Basilica's / Cathedrals, then you must visit this one if you are near Salzburg / Mondsee.

This is an amazing basilica! No need for any of publicity from the Sound of Music. However I believe this was featured in the movie!
A great place to light a candle and say some prayers!
Will definitely return here the next time we visit the area.
Loved the religious piety shop! We acquired some Holy Water!

Wonderful church to visit. Yes we were on a Sound of Music tour and yes it was instantly recognizable from the movie. This is such a quaint church to visit in a special town to visit. It was just nice to walk around and visit. A bit out of the way from Salzburg. Enjoy.
