St. Peter's Church, Gothic church in Rostock, Germany.
The 117-meter brick structure features an octagonal tower spire, making it a visible landmark throughout the port city of Rostock.
Construction of St. Peter's Church began in 1351, with the original spire serving as a navigation point for ships entering the harbor.
The Brick Gothic architecture represents the medieval building techniques of Northern Germany, utilizing red bricks instead of traditional stone materials.
Visitors can take an elevator to the 44-meter viewing platform, which remains open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM between May and September.
The tower reconstruction in 1994 returned the church to its full height after sustaining damage during World War II air raids in 1942.
