St. Peter's Church, Malmö

Saint Peter's Church in Malmö, Sweden, is a Brick Gothic church. Built in the 14th century as the principal church of the city, it has been regarded as "the primary Gothic landmark within church architecture in Skåne". During the Reformation, the church served as a spiritual center, and it was one of only a few churches in what was then medieval Denmark that suffered damage from iconoclasm as a result of the Reformation. St. Peter's Church has a number of interesting furnishings as well as late medieval murals of acknowledged high quality. The 1611 altarpiece is one of the biggest in the Nordic nations.

The interior of the church is distinguished by its towering nave, which rises to 25 metres (82 feet) at the transept. The whitewashed walls, pillars, and vaults give the room a cheerful and bright feel. Its current state is mainly similar to that of the early 17th century. You'll feel a sense of calm wash over you as you marvel at the church's massive grandeur and huge breadth, as well as its elegant interior. If you're lucky, you could catch the choir at the altar singing exquisite harmonies, which will undoubtedly add to the tranquility and quiet that the church exudes. Furthermore, the location is handy to restaurants such as Paddy's and Torget Bistro Burgers Bar, so grab a snack after a day of touring.
