Create an itinerary including St. Petri zu Lubeck

Learn about an intriguing approach to religion at St. Petri zu Lubeck, a church that was rebuilt after World War II. The church combines Christian and Muslim customs, and the congregation meets here the first Saturday of every month instead of weekly on Sundays. While visiting, be sure to catch the view from the tower, where the best views come at sunset. Reach the observation deck via elevator. Check the schedule for the occasional art gallery shows, public readings, and concerts on site. See St. Petri zu Lubeck and all Lubeck has to offer by arranging your trip with our Lubeck attractions planner.

The view of Lübeck from above is magnificent and it’s very convenient that we only had to take an elevator up and down instead of climbing stairs! There’s only 1 elevator that can fit at maximum 6...

The highlight of the church is actually the viewing platform at the top. After some short stairs there is an elevator that takes you to the top for 5 eur. Highly recommend as it's the only tower in town that you can go up. Impressive city views. At the bottom is a small cafe with some light food, flavored salts and a small gift shop. Dogs not allowed. Highly recommend!

The viewing platform on the tower is the main attraction, for us at least, at this church. Instead of glass there is a wide grille around the windows so it is a lot easier to take photos than some other attractions. There is a lift to the top - luckily - and the staff were both lovely and spoke excellent English. The church itself is heavily restored after WW2 and seems it has yet to find a new purpose. There was some sort of art exhibit inside but it wasn't really clear what it was about.

Lovely view of the whole city from the top of the church tower. Super clean toilet (free). Very inexpensive attraction: €5 per adult, free for under 17!

Amazing vistas of Lübeck. Ticket is 4 euro per adult. The church itself had an art exhibition which was OK, far from amazing.

Best views of the town! Entrance only costs 4 EUR and due to Corona they only take 15 guests at a time. Which is an important measure to keep you safe! Hand sanitizers can be found there as well. Only downturn, steep steps before reaching the elevator which makes it difficult for families with children, handicapped or elderly people.
