St. Peter's Church, Munich

St Peter's is the oldest recorded parish church in Munich and presumably the originating point for the whole city.

In the early 17th century the 91-metre (299 ft) spire received its Renaissance steeple top and a new Baroque choir was added.

The church was heavily damaged in World War II during the Allied bombing of Munich.

The interior is dominated by the high altar to which Erasmus Grasser contributed the figure of Saint Peter.

Among other masterpieces of all periods are five Gothic paintings by Jan Polack and several altars by Ignaz Günther.
