Sankt Petri kyrka, Västervik

Sankt Petri kyrka features a Latin cross layout with a central tower spire and pointed arch windows constructed in red brick and sandstone materials.

The church construction took place between 1903 and 1905 under the direction of architect Adolf Emil Melander, who also designed the Västervik railway station.

The interior displays Neo-Gothic artistry through Gottfrid Kallstenius decorations on the altar and pulpit, along with paintings in six different sections.

The church maintains regular opening hours from June through August, with access from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM during peak summer months.

Three historic bells from Sankta Gertruds church hang in the tower, including a great bell from 1701 and a middle bell originally cast in 1615.
