Sankt Peders Stræde

Sankt Peder Stræde is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

It runs from Nørregade to Jarmers Plads, crossing Larsbjørnsstræde, Teglgårdsstræde and Larslejsstræde on the way.

The eponymous St. Peter's Church is located at the beginning of the street, on the corner with Nørregade.

Part of Copenhagen's Latin Quarter, the street is home to several well-known restaurants and shops.

[1] In 1497 the Carmelite priory in Helsingør purchased a property in the street to use it as a "college" where the brothers could live and lecture.

Copenhagen's Western Rampart was located at the far end of the street until the second half of the 19th century.

It takes its name after Christopher Valkendorf who founded it on 26 February 1589 following his acquisition of the former Carmelite priory.
