    I have been visiting my friends since 1987 they live 12 km near Regensburg and are the owners of a 15th Century Castle with a Brewery. I love Bavaria, particularly Regensburg with its historic old stone bridge, museums, galleries Heid Platz markets, and of course the beautiful Cathedral where I enjoy contemplation and taking photos from your not so usual angles ...Guten tag!

    Along with Cologne Cathedral, the Regensburg cathedral is one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Germany. + France-influenced type of "classic" Gothic cathedrals + Characteristic are the basilica complex with a three-storey elevation of the central nave, the transept and an imposing west facade with two towers. + overall very imposing and peaceful feeling

    Original church building was constructed in year 700 but was burned down in the late 13th century and reconstructed. It is the only Gothic Cathedral in Bavaria and has the largest hanging organ in the world. It is an amazing experience walking inside the church and also looking at it from the outside. I highly recommend visiting it if you are in Regensburg.

    Sehr schöner Dom. Im Dom ist es ungewöhnlich dunkel und alles wirkt sehr mystisch. Aber auf jeden Fall sehenswert. So wie auch die Stadt Regensburg. Wer also in Regensburg ist, unbedingt reinschauen.

    The Regensburg Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that breathes history. Its Gothic splendor, ornate rose windows and majestic towers are impressive. A spiritual and cultural gem that fascinates and uplifts. Be sure to visit!

    We have already seen many cathedrals, but this cathedral made me ecstatic. What a beauty! Most of all I liked the stained glass windows. And although the cathedral looks a little dark, the old stained glass windows let in little light, but the atmosphere in the cathedral is very authentic. We really enjoyed. Now the cathedral is being reconstructed. But this does not prevent you from admiring the Gothic beauty of the temple.

    Saint Peter's Cathedral is the most important point on the map of Regensburg's history. Its imposing building is the only example of French Gothic in all of Bavaria. Earlier, there was a Romanesque temple in this place, but after a fire in the second half of the 13th century, it was decided to build a new structure. Construction work lasted over 250 years, although the construction of both towers was not completed until the 19th century. You can enter the cathedral for free from 6.30 am till 5.00 p. m. Inside, stained glass windows from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries delight, which have been preserved in their original condition thanks to the city's avoidance of bombardment. According to some, it is the most beautiful collection in our part of Europe. She is world-famous for her boys' choir, created a thousand years ago. From 1964 to 1994, its choirmaster was the elder brother of Joseph Ratzinger, by the way- a former member of the choir.

    Very nice Dom that shows the might of the Catholic church in it's hay day. I can sit in here and image a time goneby when this place would have been the center for community, politics, faith and life in general. The layout does justice to the importance the placed on the church leadership. The whole experience is really mesmerizing.

    Beautiful high Gothic cathedral with numerous interesting passageways and areas around it. Has all the "usual" (if high Gothic can ever be called usual) arches, windows and statues, but look for the little details. I loved the tiny carved niches next to the main doors with tiny figures inside (what were they about?). The basement likewise has lovely interesting details. Well worth a visit.

    St Peter Cathedral Visited on 23/9/2019 St Peter Cathedral is also known as Regensburg Cathedral or Dom Peter. It is of Gothic architecture, having two spires. The exterior features some intricate and interesting medieval sculptures, while the interior has the same plus stained glass windows. In comparison with many other cathedrals I have come across, this is not the most elaborate, but I believe it still deserves a score of 5 stars.

    Historical cathedral with breath-taking stained glass. Entry is free (I visited on a Friday afternoon). Inside it's a lot cooler than outside so it's the perfect stop on a warm day :)

    St. Peter's Cathedral in Regensburg is an architectural marvel that transports you through time. The intricate details of Gothic craftsmanship and the soaring spires create a breathtaking spectacle. Inside, the awe-inspiring interior and the majestic organ contribute to the cathedral's spiritual ambiance. The historical significance and the panoramic views from the towers make this cathedral a must-visit in Regensburg. A testament to the city's rich cultural heritage.

    The cathedral was under construction but it did not affect the interior architecture. Spectacular stained glass art was definitely a highlight. The noon prayer session at 12:00 was perfect for meditating and finding some peace of mind in the middle of the day, but the organ music was a little underwhelming, because I expected more from the "intimidating"-looking "pipes" of the organ.

    an impressive gothic church in Bavaria based on the French Architecture. dated to the 1280 and completed through years till the Neo- Gothic form in the 19th century. Today the right tower is completely covered due to renovation. the interior is impressive with the Gothic style. the visit is free to let you enjoy the beauty of early architecture.

    Dom St. Peter sits proud right in the heart of busy Altstadt of Regensburg, dotted by numerous restaurants and shops. A fine example of Gothic Architecture. Inside you can find several sculptures and beautiful stained glass windows. See the photos I've taken.

    Wenn man den Dom betritt, dauert es einwenig, bis sich die an die dunkle Atmosphäre gewöhnen 😁Es eine gotische Kathedrale die schlicht gehalten, aber trotzdem(oder gerade deswegen) sehr beeindruckend und schön ist! Natürlich durfte das obligatorische Baugerüst außen nicht fehlen! Sehr zu empfehlen, ist der Domschatz!

    …It’s just awe inspiring to stand outside this beautiful masterpiece of a Gothic Cathedral built 100 years ago…currently under major restoration..we were unable to enter…but an absolute pleasure just marvel at it….

    A quintessential Bavarian town with UNESCO tag lined with beautiful and narrow cobble stone paved alleys, river Danube bisecting the town with a very old stone bridge atop it and a lovely century old cathedral of St Peter having nice ornamental work. A daytrip getaway from Erlangen or Nuremberg. Don't forget to have delicious ice creams or bakery items from local shops.

    Der Dom St. Peter hat mir aufgrund seiner klaren und doch ziervollen Bauweise gefallen. Im Inneren ist es ziemlich dunkel, obwohl ich heute erlebt habe, dass die Lichter heller aufgedreht haben. Im Kellergeschoss sind die Gräber der Bischöfe zu betrachten. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos. Auf Barrierefreiheit wird geachtet. Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

    Der Regensburger Dom (St. Peter), ist wirklich schön. Leider habe ich ihn noch nie ohne Baugerüst gesehen. Mir ist schon klar, dass bei so einem alten Bauwerk des öfteren die ein oder andere Reparatur stattfinden muss. Aber währe trotzdem mal schön alles ohne Gerüst zu sehen. Deswegen nur 4 Sterne.

    Der Regensburger Dom ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt und wirkt sehr imposant. Im Inneren befindet sich ein Museum, dass den Domschatz berherbergt. Ansonsten kann man noch das Gotteshaus besichtigen und sich die hübsche Orgel anschauen zu der ein Fahrstuhl führt. Insgesamt war es ein schönes Erlebnis.

    Very beautiful cathedral. Shame it is under construction during my visit

    Very impressive, indeed. Magnificent, as every Dome....

  • 5/5 Akira R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most beautiful and large cathedral in Germany. The sense of unity with the town of Regensburg is most attractive. Almost windows in the cathedral are wonderful stained glass. It is a place that must be visited at least once.

    A typical looking Dom, or cathedral, built during the same time as many others in Germany. The twin spires dominate the skyline. Must wear a fp52 mask to go inside. Main site in city center. Currently being renovated on one spire.

    St Peter's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic Church located in Regensburg, Germany. It was too difficult to take a photo ofnthe exterior, because of the vast size of the church. The church is 104 Feet high and 114 Feet wide. This historical church was completed in 1520. We toured the interior, which was free of charge. The most impressive thing of all were the gorgeous stain glass windows throughout. The colors were so vivid, my photos don't do them justice. I am always struck by the sheer feeling of peace and holiness inside churches. The church is magnificent and I wish I could hear the organ ( HUGE- see photo). With everything going on in our world right now, I appreciated the opportunity for some time for reflection and tranquillity

    A classic medieval cathedral with impressive stained-glass windows. The cathedral dominates the skyline of Regensburg and is visually wonderful inside. The place feels empty without pews, but the windows and stonework make the place quite wonderful to visit. Entrance is free and it is definitely worth visiting.
