S:t Petri kyrka/St Peter's Church

S:t Petri Kyrka
37

The oldest building in Malmö, dating from the early 14th century, peeks out from behind the City Hall. The church was built in "Baltic Brick Gothic" and is very similar to St Mary's Church in Lübeck. The medieval paintings that covered the church vault were whitewashed during the Reformation in the 16th century, but the original paintings in the Tradesmen's Chapel were successfully uncovered during a restoration in the early 20th century. The pulpit, baptismal font and retable are all Renaissance works.
