    I love the city, how wonderful. It's clean and I felt the history while walking around. People are very friendly. Love to go again. The architecture is fantastic to see and study.

    An interesting church to visit. The scavenger hunt for the stuffed rats was a cool experience to help see all of the church and learn about the various parts of the church and history behind them. I enjoyed touring it. The church seems very welcoming to all as well, including how welcoming the staff is to visitors

    Very interesting old church with modern features including an organ console and pipes. A fun treasure hunt for kids searching for rats!

    Very nice to see how they kept a small piece of the church in the original style, including the old fresco's and all other art. The rest of the church is quite "boring" after the Protestants removed most of the fresco's and statues, but as I said it's cool to be able to see the difference in style next to each other in the same building

    Really a nice church. Definitely a recommendation for malmö, even if you are not religious. Glass work is quite stunning and the main altar has a four staged building showing Christ. We were on Sunday after a mass and waited a couple of minutes. The atmosphere is also quite nice.

    American POV: a beautiful church, clearly rich in history. I wish there were more descriptions/signs in English so I could understand more without requiring a tour guide. Visiting on a Sunday in November it was very quiet and not busy.

    It's a beautiful church. The size of this cathedral is mesmerizing. It's right behind the city hall, laid in the center of a beautiful park and easily accessible.

  • 5/5 Kristýna V. 8 months ago on Google
    Quite a masterpiece! Alluring from the outside, and interesting on the inside, with both traditional and modern influences mixing. Loved the treasure hunt, there's also free toilet inside.

  • 4/5 Luke L. 6 months ago on Google
    It is a beautiful church in the city for the residents to worship the Lord. It is very neat and well maintained. One thing that caught most of my attention would be the piano they have. It was rather extraordinary in visual. I'd love to hear it plays in action. Too bad I didn't have the chance.

    St. Peter's Cathedral is a remarkable architectural gem. Its interior, though not symmetrical, exudes a unique charm and historical significance. I found the lack of symmetry to be intriguing, perhaps reflecting the diversity of Lutheran traditions and a departure from traditional church design. Despite my initial confusion, visiting St. Peter's Cathedral was a thought-provoking experience, showcasing the rich history and individuality of these northern Lutheran churches.

    Beautiful church in the heart of Malmö city.

  • 5/5 Minh Thu L. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible architecture, not far from Central station, just 5 min walk. Pity that we couldn’t go inside.

  • 5/5 Cathleen C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful gothic church built in the 1300s. Restored artwork and a stunning 2-story pipe organ. A major city landmark.

  • 4/5 Helena S. 1 year ago on Google
    Built in the 14th century, St. Peter's Church is located within 5 minutes walk from City Hall. The most attractive factors of this Local Church are its Fabulous Brick Gothic Architecture Style and its unique Interior Decorations. As a shining example of beautiful brick Constructions in Sweden, St. Peter's Church is a popular tourist attraction in Malmö.

    Beautiful church and spacious, unfortunately they do not provide Sunday Mass in English, only in Swedish, every Sunday at 11am. However, it is worth a visit! 😍🇸🇪

  • 5/5 elix f. 1 year ago on Google
    We attended two of a series of concert held in October-November in the church. Very interesting. The church is worth visiting.

    A well worth seeing Gothic church of the 14th century in the heart of Malmö.

  • 5/5 Karen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful church inside and out. Just around the corner from the Malmo town hall. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Iryna R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most special churches I've seen. And a cornerstone on the Northern Pilgrimage route.

  • 5/5 Marcin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great church with an amazing atmosphere. Most interesting is the oldest part of the building, with amazing frescoes.

  • 4/5 Bruno H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful and peaceful. The nave is all whitewashed and full of light. And there's a smaller room covered in medieval murals.

  • 5/5 Madlen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful church with magic athmosphere, there was also a treasure hunt for kids. You should find rats in the church and they give you some information about the church, at the end you will get a little present.

  • 4/5 Chris Oh! B. 1 year ago on Google
    A fun example of Northern European Brick Gothic architecture. And moreover some restoration of the work in the baptistry and remnants of the previous Catholic splendor certainly heighten the charm of this now protestant church. A great 10 minute exploration in the Malmö old Town circuit
