St. Peter's Church is a formerly catholic cathedral that was converted to a Protestant cathedral after the Reformation. While not monumental in scale, it’s an interesting Gothic church for its use of red bricks, but otherwise very gothic niches with sculptures of saints, and typical gothic interiors. In some ways the interiors are typically protestant for it’s sparse decorations, the entrance into the church can be quite picturesque as you have to pass through triple arches which beautifully frames the high altar and the stained glass behind it. To the right of the altar is also a painting with interesting depiction of Jacob’s Ladder. Not quite as beautiful as St. Michael’s, but worth a look nevertheless.

This church offers the most stunning view of Hamburg’s town hall after a climb to the top of the steeple. Trust me when I say that it’s high and I’m usually pretty good with heights but this was an example where my knees also got a bit knobbly. The tower opens about an hour after the church opens and you’ll feel it in your legs for 2 days after
People love to visit this place which is close to the central railway station. It is also one of the view point where we can climb and view the Arial shot of Hamburg but eventually when I went there the church was closed due to some reasons. Must visit place in hamburg
This is a beautiful church. I loved the idea of letting the lights been burned together so that you got a feeling of everyone being together. The mosaic in the church is wonderful to look at and can be seen in the pictures linked here. Here in Christmas time the church is surrounded by the Christmas market.
We're climbed to the top... 540 steps... is hot up there... I would not recommend the climb in warm weather. The views were great from up there! The staff were outstanding. Very nice.
