St. Peter's Church, Gothic church in the Latin Quarter, Copenhagen, Denmark
The church features a cruciform layout, a 78-meter Rococo spire, and a Baroque portal created by Diderik Gercken in 1731.
The building dates back to 1304, making it the oldest structure in central Copenhagen, with most of its current architecture from the 15th century.
Since 1585, the church has served as the spiritual center for Copenhagen's German-speaking community, maintaining regular services in German.
Located near Copenhagen Cathedral and the University, the church offers guided tours and hosts regular concerts throughout the year.
The church contains Northern Europe's only preserved burial vaults from 1648, housing tombs of notable German-Danish families.
