Regensburg Cathedral of St. Peter Regensburg Cathedral St. Peter is one of the most important cathedrals in Germany. The church was not built all at once, but in many stages spanning 600 years. The Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral with the south choir began around the year 1270. The construction period lasted until the 16th century, although the two towers were still missing their tops at that time. It was not until 1869 that the Bavarian King Ludwig I had the two tower spires added to Regensburg Cathedral and the gables of the transept facades were also added by 1872. The church building, built in the French Gothic style, impresses with its 32 meter high vault, which extends over the entire central nave. Its almost complete preserved medieval stained glass windows are also famous. The depiction of Saint Peter in the south transept, for example, was created around 1325. The beautiful colorful windows envelop the interior of the cathedral in an almost mystical twilight.
