St. Petri Church, Parish church in Stavanger, Norway.

St. Petri Church stands near the city center of Stavanger with a prominent tower in the western section and red brick construction throughout the structure.

The original church site dates back to the 1270s when King Magnus established a hospital church dedicated to St Peter on a ridge by Skolebekken.

The church complex serves as a primary religious center for the Domkirken og St. Petri parish, offering services to residents of Eiganes and Våland districts.

The building contains 900 seats and maintains regular operation schedules, providing baptismal gowns for families celebrating religious ceremonies.

The structure combines late classicism, neo-gothic, and early Swiss architectural elements, designed by architect Frits von der Lippe in 1866.
