Sint-Petruskerk, Medieval church in Woerden, Netherlands.

The Sint-Petruskerk features a stone tower from 1372, a choir, a central nave, and various chapels added throughout different construction periods.

The current stone church replaced a wooden structure that burned down in 1202 during a raid by Holland forces into Sticht territory.

The church underwent transformation during the Reformation in 1572 when all statues and altars were removed, and the walls were covered with white plaster.

Located at Kerkplein 5 in Woerden, the Sint-Petruskerk maintains a seating capacity of 1008 people and conducts services in Dutch.

The church houses a Bätz organ from 1767 and contains a monument dedicated to Woerden naval captain Hugo Schaap, who died in 1736.
