St. Peter's Cathedral, Roman Catholic Cathedral in Osnabrück, Germany.

The cathedral features a late Romanesque architectural design with two unequal western towers, including a Gothic south tower and a Romanesque north tower.

Charlemagne established the first church at this location in 785, which was destroyed by Norman invasions in 890 and rebuilt after 1100.

The cathedral houses significant medieval artifacts, including a bronze baptismal font from 1225 and painted sandstone apostle figures from the thirteenth century.

Visitors can attend daily masses from Monday through Saturday at 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM, with additional services scheduled for Sundays.

The central nave's dome vaults reach the same height as their supporting pillars, eliminating the need for external flying buttresses.
