The St. Peter and Paul Church in the city centre is a fine example of Potsdam’s architectural beauty.

The St. Peter and Paul Church in Potsdam sits on the eastern end of the famous Brandenburger Strasse, which links the church with Luisenplatz and the nearby Sanssouci Palace and Park. Built in the period from 1867 to 1870 with Byzantine and Roman stylistic elements, this was the first Catholic church in Potsdam.

Built with yellow brick, the church’s symmetrical design is an eclectic mix of Byzantine and Romanesque styles as well as classicist elements. The church’s slender brick tower is centered on the buildings lower gables, which fit wonderfully into the surrounding two-storey gabled houses.

The inside the church is adorned with lavish marble altars, with the main altar featuring various levels. Noteworthy features include three famous Baroque paintings by Antoine Pesne that were found in the original church. Made in 1936 by Schuke, the stunning organ boasts 41 registers. Other highlights in the Church of St. Peter and Paul are the images of the Way of the Cross along the walls of the aisles as well as ornamental murals.

The St. Peter and Paul Church was damaged during World War II and restored afterwards. Between 2002 and 2006, repair works were also carried out in the church. Today, the active Catholic parish has more than 6,000 members. In addition to religious services, the church hosts religious instruction and educational activities related to travel, architecture, religion and other topics. The parish also operates a library, hospital, daycare centre and nursing home.
