Petrikirche, Gothic church in Stendal, Germany.

St. Petri Church stands as a three-nave hall structure with four bays, featuring a tower at its westernmost section and a two-bay choir with pentagonal apse.

The construction of St. Petri Church started after 1285, with the choir completed in fieldstone masonry by 1306 and the tower reaching completion in 1371.

The church displays Gothic architectural elements, including an altar with two altarpieces showing Mary's coronation, twelve apostles, and saints from the 14th century.

The church contains a brass chandelier from 1633, a Gothic cabinet with original fittings, and two bronze bells cast in 1490 and 1497.

The church features a semi-height brick wall with two doorways and quatrefoil motifs, topped by a niche gallery containing wooden sculptures of Christ and apostles.
