Sankt Petri kyrka, Västervik, Lutheran church in Västervik, Sweden

Sankt Petri kyrka is a red brick church in Västervik built in Latin cross form with a central tower topped by a pointed spire. The structure features characteristic pointed arch windows and combines brick and sandstone materials throughout its design.

The building was constructed between 1903 and 1905 under architect Adolf Emil Melander, who also designed Västervik railway station. This church represents Swedish religious architecture from the early 20th century.

The church is named after Saint Peter. Inside, Gottfrid Kallstenius painted the six panels of the chancel and decorated the neo-Gothic altar triptych. The pulpit has a sounding board, and the pews and organ gallery are neo-Gothic.

The church stands on the eastern side of central Västervik, with the west porch facing the town centre and the choir pointing east. The main entrance is through the west porch; the interior is entered at floor level, with the nave and side aisles on one level. Services in the Church of Sweden parish may close the building to visitors, so time a visit outside service hours.

The bell tower holds three historic bells from another church, including a great bell from 1701 and a middle bell cast in 1615. These older bells carry the story of earlier religious buildings once in the region.
