St. Peter's Church, Munich, Parish church in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The church features a 91-meter tower known as Alter Peter, with eight clock faces and a viewing platform overlooking Munich and the Alps.
The original structure dates from 1158, making it Munich's first parish church, with subsequent renovations following the city fire of 1327.
The Baroque high altar displays a golden figure of Saint Peter and houses the remains of Saint Munditia in a glass coffin.
Visitors can ascend 306 steps to reach the observation deck, with admission fees varying for adults, students, and children under six.
The Poor Sinner's Bell, situated in the tower basement behind bars, rang during executions at Marienplatz in medieval times.
