About About the place

St. Petri Kirche is the oldest parish church in Hamburg, with origins dating back to the 12th century. Originally built under the orders of Pope Leo X, it became Protestant during the Reformation. The church has undergone several reconstructions, notably after the Great Fire of 1842 and damage sustained in World War II, resulting in a facade that blends charred and red bricks. Visitors can ascend the 123-meter-high church tower for extensive views of the city, including landmarks like the Rathaus, harbor, and Alster lake. The interior features a mix of modern and historic elements, with stained glass windows and a peaceful atmosphere.

The trip to this place has been an emotional and a moving experience. The collection displayed and the stories behind it leaves you with a lump in your throat and makes you understand the sad history which people had to go through.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.. The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

The trip to this city has been a memorable experience and this particular place offers the fantastic view of the city from the top of the tower. The view is especially better and amazing at night with all the twinkling lights and the world just seems so small yet bright and shiny from the top.

The hotel is very well built and is clean and nice.The room was big and cozy and comfortable and the views from the room are just stunning and beautiful. We got the beach view and it was amazing.. This was our 5th time visiting this camp and the scenery and the service including the facilities are just awesome. You have to look out for the best time to visit the camp because winters could be too cold and for some not a feasible option. Even though you can enjoy the winterland, you have to be fully equipped with everything.
