Petrikirche, Gothic church in Stendal, Germany.

St. Petri is a red-brick Gothic hall church in the northwest corner of Stendal's old town, with a tall square west tower capped by a steep dark spire and a small corner spire. Its four-bay nave is carried on octagonal piers, and a two-bay choir closes with four sides of a decagon. A sandstone relief of the Annunciation, carved around 1430, is set on the choir's exterior.

St. Petri was built in stages from after 1285: the choir was finished in fieldstone by 1306, followed by the nave and the tower's lower section in the first half of the 14th century. Dendrochronology dates the choir's vaulting and heightening to 1371, and the tower was raised to the bell stage in 1415. The spire was completed in 1583; restorations followed in 1933/34 and 1979/80.

The church displays Gothic artworks including an altar from the 14th century showing Mary's coronation, the twelve apostles, and various saints. These religious works shaped the interior and reflect the devotion that took place here over centuries.

The church is accessible from outside and displays its Gothic brick facade with various details visible from the street. Visitors should note that opening hours vary, so it is helpful to check local information before your visit.

The rood screen is a half-height brick wall with two passages and quatrefoil patterns of moulded brick in the spandrels. Its niche gallery holds mid-14th-century wooden figures of the blessing Christ and twelve apostles, crowned by a mid-15th-century triumphal cross.
