Propsteikirche St. Peter und Paul, Gothic Revival church in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany
The Propsteikirche St. Peter und Paul features a 41-meter-high tower, elaborate stonework, soaring arches, and detailed stained glass windows throughout its structure.
The church construction, commissioned by Pastor Franz Küstner, was completed between 1854 and 1858 following designs by Cologne architect Vinzenz Statz for 29,522 Reichstalers.
The interior holds numerous art pieces, including windows designed by Christoph Grüger and a modern tabernacle created by artists Dora and Hubert Kleemann.
The church underwent extensive renovations from 1995 to 1999 under Provost Max Pritze, with additional restoration work starting in 2017 including a new altar installation.
After sustaining heavy damage during a 1945 bombing raid, the church reconstruction under Franz Carré's direction was completed in 1958, marking its resilience.
