Peterskirche (St. Peter’s Church) was built in 1180 on the site of a monastery. Peterskirche is the oldest church in Munich and a main tourist attraction as well as local’s favorite.

Peterskirche is designed in Romanesque style but thru the years different elements were added and designed in Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo style. The church was almost destroyed during the WWII bombings and was rebuild and finally completed in the year 2000.

The top of the tower offers a splendid view of the city of Munich but there is no elevator so a good exercise will be to climb up the 300 stairs.
