The Cathedral of St. Peter


The Cathedral of St. Peter

The Cathedral of St. Peter in Bremen - known locally as St. Petri Dom - dates from the 11th-century, with additions being made in the 13th and 16th centuries. The exterior, with its twin 98-meter tall towers, was restored in 1898, while its richly-decorated Baroque pulpit was a gift from Queen Christina of Sweden in the 17th century. In the Bleikeller, or Lead Cellar, are a number of mummified bodies, and displays of other items related to the tombs can be seen in the Museum at St. Peter's Cathedral. A nominal admission charge is required to visit the cathedral's tower, but it's well worth it for the views.
