St Peter's Roman Catholic Church, 2 Chapel Court, Aberdeen
St Peter's Roman Catholic Church, 2 Chapel Court, Aberdeen, Gothic Revival church in Aberdeen, Scotland
St Peter's is a church built in the Gothic Revival style, featuring pointed arches and detailed stonework throughout its structure located at Chapel Court. The building is defined by a striking entrance portal designed by architect Harry Leith that gives it its distinctive character.
The church was established in 1804 as the first permanent Roman Catholic institution in Aberdeen following the Reformation. This building marked a significant turning point for Catholic presence in the city after centuries of restrictions.
The church serves the Catholic community as a meeting place where people of various backgrounds gather for regular worship and celebration. It remains an important center for spiritual practice and community life in the city.
The church is accessible, and visitors can explore the interior during visiting hours at any time. Guests should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior is expected.
A Belgian high altar from 1895 forms the centerpiece of the interior and demonstrates international artisan craftsmanship within Scottish architecture. This handcrafted work brings together European traditions with the local heritage of the place.
