St. Peter's Church

Peterskirche, Alter Peter, St. Peter's Church, Peterskirche
Germany, Munich
St. Peter's Church is the oldest cathedral in Munich.

Construction began in the 11th century on the site of an old wooden church on the Petersbergl hill in the center of Munich. In 1181, Otto I Wittelsbach ordered the extension of the Romanesque church, which was later consecrated by Bishop Otto von Friesing. About 100 years later, the church was demolished and a new church was erected in its place and consecrated in 1284. As a result of a fire at the beginning of the 14th century, the church was badly damaged. It has been restored, but in the Gothic rather than the Romanesque style. In the 18th century, St. Peter's Church was redesigned in the Rococo style, for example by the architect Johann Baptist Zimmermann. The church was seriously destroyed during World War II. Restoration work continued until 2000.

Visiting Peterskirche you will get two pleasures in one set: ) Firstly, the church itself, which has experienced a rich history of buildings, destruction, reconstruction, is an interesting object for inspection and study. Light walls, a painted dome, a gilded altar part - you can wander for a long time and look at the details. The entrance to the church is free. Secondly, from the observation deck of Peterskirche, magnificent views of the city open up. How to get up? The entrance to the stairs is located at the side door of the church.
