St.Peter church Spiekeroog

The St. Peter church stands on a dune with a distinct polygonal pyramid shape covered in copper plates that extend from its peak to the ground.

Built in 1970 by architect Walter Bunsmann, this church emerged as the newest Catholic sanctuary among the East Frisian island churches of Lower Saxony.

The church accommodates forty permanent Catholic residents on an island that maintains a strong Protestant presence with two additional religious buildings.

The interior features wooden folding chairs, making the space adaptable for religious services, concerts, choir performances, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Three narrow bands of windows run from bottom to top of the structure, while a central lamp descends from the peak toward the altar.
