Peterskirche, Romanesque church at Petersberg hill, Erfurt, Germany
The Peterskirche stands with its thick stone walls, rounded arches, and double tower front at the eastern end of the structure.
The church originated as a Benedictine abbey church in the early 12th century, receiving visits from German emperors and kings throughout its history.
The interior walls preserve fragments of 13th-century artworks, including crucifixion scenes and depictions of apostles.
The upper floor of the church serves as an event space, managed by the Thuringian Castles and Gardens Foundation since 1998.
French and Prussian troops converted the church into a storage facility in the early 19th century, altering its original religious function.
