St. Peter's Church, Utrecht

The interior of St. Peter's Church features massive red sandstone pillars extending from floor to ceiling throughout the central nave.

Bishop Bernold initiated the construction of St. Peter's Church in 1039, leading to its official inauguration on May 1, 1048.

The church forms the eastern point of Utrecht's Kerkenkruis, an arrangement of four historical churches with the Domkerk at its center.

St. Peter's Church maintains regular opening hours at Pieterskerkhof 3, where visitors can examine the exhibition about its architectural evolution.

The underground crypt contains the stone coffin of Bishop Bernold and retains original medieval construction elements from the 11th century.
