Sankt Peter (St. Peter's Church), Aachen

Saint Peter’s Church is situated on Peterskirchhof and is one of the oldest churches in Aachen. Dedicated to Saint Peter, the church was built on a former Roman burial site and was first heard of in 1215. The present Baroque-style brick structure dates back to 1717. Presumably its bell tower was part of the Medieval city walls. The church houses an old altar with Baroque carvings, the copy of the Pietà from the 15th century, Anthony's sculpture created by sculptor Gustav Angelo Venth, 19th century icons and liturgical vessels from the Baroque period.
