Peterskirche - St. Peter's Church

St. Peter's Church (German: Peterskirche) is the oldest church of the inner city of Munich and very close to Marienplatz. It was first built during the Romanesque period, and was the focus of the early monastic settlement in Munich before the city's official foundation in 1158.

At the end of 12th century a new church in the Bavarian romanesque style was consecrated and expanded in gothic style shortly before the great fire in 1327 destroyed the building.

During World War II, the church was almost completely destroyed once again. But shortly after the end of World War II they started to reconstruct the church and in the year 2000 it was finally completed.
