    I was so excited to explore and just be I. The same city as this church. The architecture and history here is just stunning. Every area is very detailed and since being built around 1120 it has been maintained and kept in impeccable shape. I would suggest seeing this church. And don’t forget to check out the street filled with monuments and statues of some of the most important figures of the cathedrals/cities history.

    Beautiful church and surrounding area. Architecture is wonderful with renovations taking place on the exterior to restore the brickwork. Free entrance and easy to find. Paid parking locations near the entrance. Worth a visit if in Worms

    Quite a stunning medieval structure! Even though the smallest out of Rhenish imperial cathedrals (Mainz, Speyer and Worms) it certainly does not lack any beauty to its counterparts. Also the youngest among them, built with red colored bricks around the year 1130, this cathedral is a dominant of Worms. However, finding a great overview of the cathedral from the outside turned out to be a rather difficult task. The west end, also the front of the cathedral was under construction (there is also an entrance to the premises of the cathedral that was closed) and the whole north part of Schlossplatz was covered by tribunes for a musical event. The best views can be appreciated from the south side - the park area with an iron miniature of the cathedral - where the entrance is located. The little rose garden, left to the entrance, is decent, but not really well maintained. The inner parts resemble many other cathedrals around Germany, however I find the main nave quite different, the ambience there is pure and simple. Miniature model of the complex is on display in one of the transept, stained glass windows are to be admired throughout the cathedral and a gorgeous high altar is a great masterpiece. I also enjoyed the gothic reliefs from the abandoned cloisters hanging on the walls. Unfortunately there is not a possibility to enter any of its four towers, however the tiny crypt is available for exploration. A small souvenir stall is located inside the cathedral, offering, apart from postcards and memorabilia, informative English brochures for a 50 cents donation. Worth to visit while in town, visited in August 2022.

    Four towered church in the middle of city worms provides a warm ambience once you enter the church. Along the wall you will see the sculpture of Biblical stories or events. Colourful stained glass window panes bring in mystic light. It is equally beautiful from outside.

    Again and again I have seen this beauty from afar on my many bike rides and have not been disappointed. It looks impressive, you won't be disappointed here. The impression from afar really did not deceive me

    WOW, just wow. What an experience to see this Dom. Glad I came. 🥰

  • 5/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    Dom St. Peter is the number 1 tourist attraction of Worms. Though you can find many similar cathedrals across Germany or Europe and neither is it the grandest one, I like it due to its few special features. First, it is the shape of the high towers. They are cylindrical rather than the commonly seen rectangular. The stained glasses, not the ones showing religious stories or holy figures but the plain ones, are lovely. Together with some of the stone and wood cravings displayed inside, it made my visit pleasant and tranquillizing though I am not a religious person.

    Amazing!!! If you are in Germany Dom ST. Peter is definitely worth visiting. I loved every minute I spend there. This is such a serene place.

    What an incredible experience. Tge richness of history, if you take a little time to uncover it, will impress. To be in a place and let yourself go back in time to imagine the sites and sounds, is such an adventure. The Dom St. Peter is one of those places that makes it easy to do just that. Walking the grounds and through the buildings lets you travel back in time over some of history's greatest events ranging from the early days of the Reformation to the tragedies of World War II.

    Worms is one of Germany’s oldest city besides Trier and the Dom St Peter, consecrated June 9, 1018 which it’s foundation erected by Bishop Burchard +1025, the high altar on the east side was created by Balthasar Neumann who brought the sculptor Johan Wolfgang von der Auvera between 1738-1742 after the great city fire in Worms 1689. The two figures larger than life size figures of St Peter complete with the rooster saying “you will betray me three times before I crowed” and St Paul on the other side , this altar at a glance has a breath of Barrock influence. Also the Gothic signs are every where to find such as the apse combing a woman hair, the roosters etc. Btw Worms also known for the place where in 1521 Martin Luther refused the catholic believe. On top of it all Worms also has been a city of winemaking since the Romans brought wine here.

    Hard to get a good photo of he outside, but this is a beautiful Dom. It is very rich in history and has a crypt and several unique paintings and sculptures.
