Peterskirche

Another Basel attraction that draws large number of tourists and religious followers alike is the Peterskirche. Peterskirche or St. Peter's Church is one of the most important religious destinations in Switzerland.

The first mention of the Peterskirche of Geneva has been found in some documents that date back to the year 1219. The choir area and the wall that lies in the western part of the St. Peter's Church is believed to be the oldest constructed portions.

The St. Peter's Church in Geneva has undergone overall reconstruction since its inception. The sandstone tower built during the 15th century is one of the main attractions of Peterskirche today. The 14th century Gothic murals and carvings still please the followers and tourists. Among the murals, the South Ship is the most noted one.

The address of Geneva's Peterskirche is given below:

Peterskirchplatz
8, Peter's Church Square
Basel, 4051
