SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Göttingen, Gothic church in central Göttingen, Germany.

The Paulinerkirche features three naves with cross vaults, representing the Dominican architectural traditions of the early 14th century.

Built in 1304 for Dominican monks, the church transformed into a Protestant place of worship in 1529 during the Reformation period.

The church holds relics of Thomas Aquinas and maintains a collection of historical books from the 18th century in its upper level.

The building serves as part of the Göttingen State and University Library, offering exhibition spaces and hosting academic events.

After reconstruction following World War II damage, the church merged religious architecture with modern library functions.
