St. Peter Cathedral

The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.

We arrived too late to go inside, but even from the outside, St. Peter Cathedral is absolutely stunning. The gothic architecture is impressive and full of detail—it really stands out in the heart of Regensburg. There was some construction during our visit, but it didn’t take away from the experience. We’d love to come back earlier next time to explore the inside!

Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example. The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world. An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.

St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.

Just a stunning cathedral. Stained glass is gorgeous & although I am not that religious, I did light a candle for my parents inside.❤️❤️ P.s., no cost to enter & walk through.

Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant. The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!

Great experience. Today was the 75 anniversary of Caritas and St. Josef Hospital celebrated with bishop Rudolf and former cathedral choir member (Regensburger Domspatzen). Usually the holy mass is starting on Sundays at 10 a.m. Be early enough there to get a place!

Amazing place to Visit. Such an incredible architectural work. But if you need to go inside, you have to see their religious activities time. Because at that time doors were closed to the visitors.every thing was fine and tremendous work and were well maintained to the future generation.

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

Dom St Peter or Regensburger Dom (St. Peter's Cathedral, also known as Regensburg Cathedral) is well-known for her Gothic architecture in Bavaria. It is a landmark for the city of Regensburg, and the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Regensburg. The structure is considered the most significant Gothic work in southern Germany. This impressively preserved church is notable for its two 105-meter-high spires. Its spacious interior is of great beauty, and its most notable feature being its superb 13th- and 14th-century stained glass windows. Therefore, it's recommended as the top attraction to visit in Regensburg. You will not be disappointed for sure. The original church called Niedermünster, which was built west of where the current cathedral stands, was built around the year 700. That fact itself is amazing, but unfortunately it was burned down in 1273. The new one was built in 1280 with an incorporation of French Gothic architectural themes. By 1320, the three choirs of this cathedral were ready for use, and between 1385 and 1415 the main entrance to the West was completed. Most of edifice was finished around the year 1520, and this was also the opening year for the cathedral. It's amazing to be able to sit in this historical cathedral and imagine how the worship service was like with its great choir and organ vibrating through this massive structure. That's one of the reasons I like to visit these cathedrals.

If you're Catholic, or just appreciate seriously old and cool architecture, you really need to stop by Saint Peter's Cathedral in Regensburg. The historical relevance alone is worth a look see, as it has seen several phases over the years with the first church in this location built approximately 700 AD. It's current form was finished and ready for service in the early 16th century. It's open to the public, totally free to go inside and mass is still conducted there. Once inside you'll want to take your time just admiring the Michelangeloesque artwork everywhere. The ceiling, the walls, the statues, it's just so cool! It's everywhere you look. The exterior is currently going through a renovation of sorts, or maybe a reinforcement safety measure, so exterior photos aren't as grand as you might want. However, everything about this Cathedral is indeed grand! If you're in Regensburg, this is a must see. By the way, it's also centrally located where the Christmas Market is as well. Go here, you'll be glad you did. Cheers!

Well. Regensburg is small and it seems to mist on all of my visits. But for an hour the morning the sun greeted me. This church is serious sensory overload. For some reason, I like the facade of the exterior the best. I like to touch the slabs and look at the cobblestones that have experienced so much. Regensburg is small enough to use the church - or any cafe - as a meet point This area is mobbed by river boat tours. I usually drift along for a bit to learn interesting history if I can find a language group to work will my limited abilities.

Regensburg's magnificent mediaeval cathedral dominates the centre of the UNESCO listed old town area, and encompasses 1,300 years of history. The first episcopal church in the site was founded around 700AD, and Regensburg became a diocese in its own right under St Boniface in 739. The second Church was begun in the late 8th Century and extended in the 11th, but a fire resulted in the present Church being erected from 1273. By 1320 the new choirs were complete, but it wasn't until 1442 that the nave roof was completed. From 1613-1649 the cathedral was given a baroque makeover but this was reversed by Ludwig I in 1828, which included replacing a baroque cupola over the crossing with a rib vault. The towers were added as late as 1859-69, and work finally finished in 1870 with the addition of a flèche over the crossing. The cathedral has a nave of five bays with wide aisles: there are substantial aisle chapels paired either side of the sanctuary. The flying buttresses support enormous windows in the clerestory, rising to a vault of 32m. The overall effect is of s building almost as tall as it is long. The cathedral is rich in mediaeval statuary and particularly so in early stained glass, much of which dates from the 14th Century: the downside of which is that the interior is particularly gloomy (and much of the glass is in need of a thorough restorative clean). The crypt is worth a visit to see the remains of the earlier Romanesque Church in the firm of columns with striking capitals.

Fabulous church which apparently was 600 years in the making. Built on a previous church which was built during the 8th century this is a towering cathedral with spires reaching to the skies. There is an enormous amount of restoration going on in this cathedral. A short walk from the cathedral is the Donau and you can get an impressive view of the cathedral from both sides of the river. At night this place looks amazing. There is a lot of history about this place on Wikipedia. I love old cathedrals and this is a great example of the grandeur and dedication of the years gone by.
