St. Peterskirche is one of the three main churches in Zurich, Switzerland. The other two are the Church of Zurich and the Cathedral of Notre Dame of Zurich. St. Peter's Cathedral is also the oldest church in Switzerland. Its name can be found in the historical documents of 857 A.D. Before the Reformation in Switzerland, St. Peter's Church was the only parish church in the city, and the rest were attached to monasteries. The church clock tower, which was built in 1534, has the largest church clock dial in Europe. The dial diameter of the clock is 8.7 meters, the hour hand is 3 meters long and the minute hand is 4 meters long. The church bell tower is used to monitor fires. It is said that once a fire alarm occurs, a flag is stretched in the direction of the fire to tell people where to put out the fire.

    When St. Peter’s Church did not come before, I often heard that after this church came, it felt more unexpected. It was really beautiful. It was photographed with the blue sky and white clouds behind. It seemed to be in some places in Tibet.

    St. Peter's Church is also a long-standing building in Zurich. The church has a century-old history and is well protected. The city here is basically not eroded by the war. It is a very good place to visit and a place to feel European religious culture.

    One of the three churches in Zurich, close to the river, is in a great location, the building is very solid, a bit like modern architecture, if it is not the tower and the big bell at the top, it is difficult to judge it is the church, the pink exterior paint is very chic.

    St. Peter's Church is the oldest church in Zurich. It is said that the diameter of the bell tower is the largest in Europe. It is a landmark building in Zurich that can be seen from afar. The interior of the church is very simple, there are no murals, but it still looks very solemn.

    To the north of Notre Dame's Cathedral, there is St. Peter's Cathedral. St. Peter's Cathedral allows indoor photography (Anyway, there is a sign that no photography is allowed in the flowers). St. Peter's Cathedral is situated on a small highland. It needs to be uphill to walk from Notre Dame's Cathedral.
