St Peter's Church

St Peter’s Church (Sankt Petri kyrka) is Malmö’s oldest building and one of southern Sweden’s finest examples of Brick Gothic architecture. Built in the 14th century, it offers a quiet contrast to the modern city around it, with soaring vaults, medieval frescoes, and an ornate Renaissance altarpiece. Its long history as a merchant church reflects Malmö’s Hanseatic past, making it especially rewarding for visitors interested in architecture, history, or sacred art.
