Peterskirche, Gothic Revival church in Heidelberg, Germany
The Peterskirche features pointed arches, stained glass windows, and detailed woodwork spread across three levels of architectural elements.
Built in the 12th century and reconstructed between 1485 and 1496, the church underwent major renovations from 1864 to 1870 following destruction in the late 17th century.
The church functions as the main religious center for the University of Heidelberg, hosting regular Protestant services and academic ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access the church through guided tours that explain the architectural features, religious artifacts, and the burial sites of notable university professors.
The church cemetery, partially preserved outside the original city walls, contains the tomb of Marsilius of Inghen, the founding rector of Heidelberg University.
