Alter Peter

About St. Peters church Before the city of Munich was founded there was already a small chapel on the "Petersbergl" (Peter's hill) replaced at the beginning of the 11th century by the romantic style Peterskirche (Peters church). In the 13th century a new gothic church was built, which was constantly rebuilt and changed in style over the years. In the 2nd World War the church was so badly damaged that the repair work lasted until 1975. The Renaissance tower "Alter Peter" (Old Peter) is, along with the Frauentürmen (Ladies Towers), a Munich landmark. 302 wooden steps must be climbed to reach the viewing platform and enjoy a wonderful view over Munich. In this legendary church are many art treasures from various eras such as the gothic altar by Schrenk, the baroque baptismal font by Kumpur or the roccoco side altars by Ignatz Günther.
