Where old and new meet
St. Peter is the latest surviving Gothic church in Cologne and, with the neighbouring St. Cecilia, forms the city's only preserved double-church complex. It is famous for the altarpiece Crucifixion of St Peter by Peter Paul Rubens, who was baptised nearby. Today worship, modern art and new music come together here – an extraordinary place.
