Sint-Petrus' Stoel van Antiochiëkerk, Gothic church in Sittard, Netherlands.

The Sint-Petrus' Stoel van Antiochiëkerk features a three-aisle basilica design with a five-sided choir and a prominent west tower made of brick and limestone.

The church obtained collegiate status in 1299, maintaining twelve secular canons until its dissolution in 1802 during the French administration period.

The interior holds a 15th-century choir stall, a triumph cross from 1500, and numerous artworks created by Jean Latour and Atelier Ramakers.

The church stands at Kerkplein street in central Sittard, marked by its 83-meter tower, the highest church tower in the Limburg region.

The carillon contains 50 bells, installed in 1988 as a farewell present to Dean Janssen, incorporating six ring bells made in 1949.
