Petrikirche, Gothic church in Innenstadt-West, Germany
Petrikirche is a sandstone church building rising 105 meters and defines Dortmund's skyline. The structure displays Gothic architecture with characteristic saddle roofs over the side aisles and a prominent tower.
Construction began in 1322, and after the church was destroyed, it was rebuilt with classical Baroque elements. This reconstruction shaped the building's appearance today.
The altar came from Antwerp and displays biblical scenes with hundreds of gilded figures that visitors can discover anew with each visit. The church preserves this artistic creation like a living history book of faith.
Access to the church is straightforward for visitors. Information about visiting hours and special events is available through direct communication channels.
The altar displays different scenes depending on the season, with special arrangements during Holy Week and expanded presentations from Pentecost to Thanksgiving. These changing displays give each visit a different experience.
